So I'm planning on building a new commuter up, 650B wheels, maybe a Kogswell frame, other various commuter accouterments.

Anyways, I am having a hard time choosing an internally geared hub. Not interested in a single speed or fixed gear, I am too lazy for that plus I've always wanted an internally geared bike. Basically, there are too many options to decide from, and I'd like a little input.

My options are
-Shimano
-SRAM
-Sturmey-Archer
-Rohloff (not an option really, way too expensive and I'd have a stoke if the wheel got stolen)
-NuVinci (probably too heavy)

and all the various models of internally geared hubs that are under each brand. I've got about a 8% grade to deal with on my daily commute, about a mile long so as long as I've got the gearing to deal with that, then I am primarily concerned with durability - I want this bike to be a daily commuter that'll last me many years without too much maintenance.

Shower me in your opinions!
