I wouldn't want a coaster brake for much of anything these days. Now that we have way better braking systems. If you are desperate for a hub braking system, roller or drum brakes are a touch better. However if I was building a beach cruiser that would be used only on flat land with no cars or very few cars and I was wearing flip flops I might consider a coaster.
