I'm a giant fan of fixed gear bikes, but I'm tired of horizontal dropouts. If a bike is made for derailleurs, vertical makes more sense. I might prefer verticals all around, and use an eccentric ENO hub. Most of my aspirational bikes come with Phil eccentric bottom brackets to get the advantage of verticality.
