Sturmey-Archer makes a drum brake hub that takes cassettes. If I lived somewhere like Seattle drum brakes would be my first choice. I use roller brakes on my city bike, tour bikes still run canti's.

If a rim goes out of true it is an issue... although it may not interfere with braking it does speak to an issue with the wheel.
