If you're intending on running a singlespeed set up, the XT hub, with a fat sprocket and spacers will work fine, make gearing changes relatively straight forward, easily adjustable chainline and not cost the earth.
As @Dtroll points out, the wheel won't technically be as strong and while there are scenarios where extra strength is desirable, for every day use I haven't found it to make much of a difference either way.

Yeah... fair point, 'tis only a Pomp. And that money could be better spent.
Thanks for all the advice. I was impulsive and already bought the frame last year so will persevere with the build. Just going to keep an eye on the classifieds and have a rummage through my parts bin for basic components so I can bring the total cost down.
@svendsvin / @Xavonseine – is the bolt-on cog the best way to go? Or SS MTB hub? How about DMR or Surly?
