If you use decent qr skewers (i.e. internal cam types like Shimano and Campy) qr hubs work just fine with horizontal dropouts. The problems come from using boutique external cam skewers that can't generate adequate clamping force. I've used qr hubs on two Bridgestones, an old Trek and my current Cross Check, all with horizontal dropouts, with absolutely no problems, but always with internal cam skewers.
