I find the internal hubs have too wide a jump between some of the gears. The higher my gear, the closer the spacing for me.
I ride almost exclusively on the flats, so if the headwind changes a couple MPH, a 1 tooth change works well. I'm not too concerned about the spacing in the lowest gears, because I only use them to get moving. If I have a hill, I use the granny ring.
