I personally would still do it as a full-replaceable aluminum dropout assembly. This way you could fabricate a dropout of any style to suit the application (horizontal, vertical, semi-vertical, etc... with or without hanger) and also feel safe in the knowledge that should you tweak the hanger, you can easily replace it without a complicated frame repair. I'm assuming you're going with steel? Which tubeset?
