I LOVE hub gears, but I would take a good set of disc brakes over roller brakes any day.
The Shimano ones aren't crap, put the Alfine is superior to the Nexus in a big way. I think I would take an Alfine over a Rohloff, tbh, the amount better the Rohloff is doesn't justify the price.
Sturmey Archer's are ok for 3 speed, but start getting a bit shoddy after that.
I Have a Sachs 7speed, it's 11 years old, it's perfect.
