Don't know anything about the DOS/Suzue combo specifically, but on a Phil hub my surly Dingle Cog gave me ~38mm and ~43mm chainlines; i'd image the suzue hub would be similar since they both aim for a 42mm chainline with a single cog. A Sugino XD double on a VO 103mm bottom bracket lines up well, with the driveside crank is snugged up pretty tight to the bottom bracket cup (luckily the way it's machined prevents any rubbing).
