+1 for no problems with horiz. dropouts and QRs. I certainly haven't had any issues with slippage on my quickbeam with the stock Suzue QR hub, and I've really stomped on the pedals sometimes. BUT, I do like vertical dropouts nonetheless, since they are just that much easier when you're fixing a flat or what not since the wheel is aligned as soon as you drop it in. If you want to make a SS/fixie, you have eccentric hubs.
