Rohloff

Only those two and flip a coin to choose.
Of all the hubs I've owned, those two are by and far the superior, and the only ones that have survived the abuse I've thrown at them. Both Rohloff and NuVinci are bomb proof.
Shimano comes closer than the rest to matching them, but ain't in their class.

Don't worry about the weight of the NuVinci, you are putting it on your commuter, not a race bike.
What you are going to get for the weight penalty is the quietest, smoothest, and strongest hub on the market.
