Go with a fixed/fixed flip-flop and that gives you 3 options:
You can run a freewheel on each side if you decide you don't like riding fixed.
You can run fixed on one and freewheel on the other and flip it depending on your mood.
You can run twin fixed cogs and have different gears to choose depending on terrain you'll be riding.
