I would have said single speed is better for off road after riding off road single speed for 5 years (single speed on the road just doesn't feel as nice as fixed) but having ridden fixed off road for a couple of months it feels better there too!
Seems to make the old routes more interesting, plus skid stopping around is much more fun.
Admittedly I need the additional challenge as I live in the New Forest
