If you want to look like you're racing, use any road crank and move the sprocket outboard 5mm from typical track alignment to fix the chain line at about 47mm.
For a commuter bike, the Alfine FC-S501 crank gives a 42.7mm chain line which is close enough to common track spec along with a guard to keep your socks clean.
