Drum brakes.

I love how low-maintenance they are and they can look downright elegant. For anyone complaining about stopping power; try them with modern compressionless brake housing and see how much of a difference it makes.
And in proper sizes (90mm) they are one of the most maintenance free options after fixed gear and single speed coaster brakes. Well beyond disc brakes.
