Next best is IGH rear hubs, preferably also with drum brake, like my SA XL-RD5w, that I can easily change the gear range with $7 cogs. Just as useful as any 1x. The Nexus 7i has a similar range, but with closer jumps.
I really like sweptback bars that actually have better hands and torso comfort than any drop bar.
Best rims for medium width tires, is Velocity Dyad.
A good example of this kind of bike, is the Brooklyn Driggs with a 3 or 7 speed IGH. They have rim brakes that are at least better than dumb Shimano roller brakes.
