I'm a big fan of the dingle cog in practice. With two rings and a quick release, you can manually shift very quickly by moving the axle and rolling the bike. You'd only shift for long climbs or offroad riding. You can't use it with a derailleur, but you could use a DOS ENO freewheel with a derailleur.
Currently my Quickbeam has an S2 kickback hub, and my Ross has a single fixed gear, but I'll keep the dingle cogs for the future.
