Bikes: Too Many

Is an I.R.O Fixed/Free hub a decent hub for a starter into fixed gear world or would the Suzue Bsaic Track hub a better chioce? If I really like it, i'm sure ill build up another fixed gear w/ nicer hubs, but for now will this work?

Thanks for the offer again Cynikal
I would avoid the Suzue and get the IRO. I think I just stripped my Suzue over the weekend (I'm pulling it apart today). You will have to wait a few weeks to order an IRO due to a death in Tony's family but it will be worth the wait. I'm ordering one as well.
