It seems to me that the color scheme is the most important mechanical factor of modern SS/FG bikes.
Flip flop hub is big bonus if you are just experimenting with fixed gear for the first time.
Then the gear ratio should be considered, but you can always change the cog, it's not expensive to change.
If you buy a bike that is designed for use as a SS/FG you don't have to worry about it having the wrong type of dropouts.
