Internal gearbox in BB area of frame. Frame is being built at the moment...
A guy I was following on day 1 had a rohloff, he rode straight through the special mud, I tried to follow, broke hanger and mech as I powered through. So yeah, definitely better, but not infallible.

Was it Mark Beaumont that broke a Rohloff during one of his big rides?
What bike are you getting? I remember seeing downhill bikes many years ago built around some kind of gearbox contraption. Some Russian-sounding name I think

Hub gears? How much of the route is hike-a-bike? SS negates hanger, RD, FD so might make that muddy shitfest manageable.
