The classic touring bikes of only a few years ago fit the bill better then any other style that I can think of. Lots of spokes, strong rims, mega low gearing, super stable, lot's of flexibility in how they are set up (narrower tires, narrower range gearing, ability to swap out wheels that are the most common available designs (135mm rear/100 ft w/ Q/R), easy to service cable rim brakes.
But this type of question is much like if you could only have one pair of shoes what would they be. Andy
