Yes, more fork are available in those sizes.

44mm with tapered fork = 10-ish mm added stack
tapered HT with tapered fork = no stack addition and sits nice and flushtapered HT with straight fork = just no (looks ugly)
conclusion: 'future proof' doesent exist unless ugly so either decide forks or go 44mm.

A straight 44mm head tube would allow you the option of either using a straight 44mm fork or a tapered fork with a shim at the top, wouldn't it? Or is that a terrible idea.
@edscoble your answer isn't an answer.
Edit 'cos I'm chatting shit. So is 44mm the OD of a 1 1/8" headtube?
If so, would it be possible have a headtube for 1.5" steerer and run tapered forks with a shim at the top (and maybe a shim at the bottom for regular 1 1/8" steerer?).

@fredtc
on a custom frame, would a tapered or a 44mm headtube be more 'future proof'?
