A horizontal dropout is actually better (*ducks*) for street riding because it is easier to change a tire. Its not a big difference, but it will make for less greasy hands if you have to repair a flat. Plus if you go single speed with a flip flop hub, the brakes will still line up. The only downside is not being able to use chain tensioners.
