If you aren't doing fenders then I vote Minimotos. I was able to comfortably fit Snoqualmie's with VO Zeppelin 52mm fenders on my Simpleone, but in that scenario you definitely need cantis.
I have the Minimoto up front and Touring Canti in the rear set up on a different single speed (one that does have a rear brake bridge, unlike my Simpleone) and that setup works great as well. The Minimotos are insanely strong brakes in my experience.
