The shimano system is better and i recall Hope's having issues years back. think they changed the cam angle and materials used. Used a hope on the rear in vertical dropout with no dramas other than crash and rock strike forcing me to beat the thing open post-race.
Had issues with Q/R's on horizontal dropouts (Alu frame) but using chain tugs cured any slippage, never had a Q/R undo but have suffered axle slipping.
In the context of the Surly KM, i have put the monkey nuts in the dropouts (spacers) so wheel movement should be a non issue, more concerned of snapping the lever on the current FSA ones.
