This thread is reminding me of how happy I am that I bought a Sram Dual Drive while they were still in production. I am running that with an eight speed 11/32 cassette.
If you can get a IGH hub like that, I think that is the best option. I am not familiar with the Sturmey Archer, so I have no comments on that one. Spare parts for the Sram Dual Drive like the shifting rod are getting hard to find, thus if you found a used one you would want to make sure that it is complete and working.
I am not familiar with your bike, make sure that you get a hub that has the correct dropout spacing width for your frame.
