IHG adds weight to the rear wheel. Not so much of an issue for a touring bike, unbalances and adds unsprung weight to a full sus. Plus drag, not a lot, but it’s there. A nexus hub I had was very vague to shift too
Pinion adds drag, crap engagement, limited shifting under power and gripshift. Fine if you get on with it, (and there are trigger options available, but they’re expensive and have their own issues (one hit, one shift, complicates dropper lever placement and you have no way of knowing what gear you are in)) but I don’t. Fine on a winch and plummet bike, not ideal on a trail bike, IME. Not tried an effigear, so Would be keen to hear about how they go.
