the hope singlespeed hub always gets good praise.
this one is a novatec (D252SB-BO-AA )with aluminium everything so pretty light about 280-300g:

and can be flipped with a velosolo type 6 bolt cog on the other side (disc bracket has a chainline of 53-54mm)

Apart from budget, the main thing worth considering is if you want to use a screw-on freewheel, or a mini-cassette hub. I prefer the cassette type myself, as it's easier to get a perfect chainline and decent quality cogs can be bought quite cheaply.
Cheapset way is using a basic Shimano geared hub and a singlespeed conversion kit .
