If you're going for a bolt-on sprocket on a front hub (HB-M756, for example), it's worth getting it spaced asymmetrically to give a 46-47mm chainline to match the outer ring of a road crank, as this also makes the wheel build dishless. A singlespeed MTB hub is another option, bolt on cog on the disc carrier and a freehub on the other side in case you change your mind, again much stronger wheel build than a 10-speed freehub thanks to the lack of dish.There are reasonably priced Taiwanese options (I actually have one for sellz, very reasonable) or you can bling it up with a Hope hub, as I have on my Pompetamine. Chainline will be about 50-52mm on the bolt on sprocket if you use a rear hub, which will work with MTB cranks.
