"City" Bikes

I'm looking to get one. I want fenders, rack, basket, etc--it'll be a work horse and I have another bike for fun. Some of them have rear hubs with gears from 3 to 8 speeds, which is enough for me. And I can see the virtues in terms of having things self contained when riding in rain etc. But I imagine they are pretty complicated. They also make them with derailleurs with more speeds and they're cheaper. I've never had any problem with derailleurs, they seem pretty bullet proof. So the question is how reliable are the self-contained hubs? Is it worth paying extra, or will there be problems later (I tend to keep bikes for years)? I'm looking to spend less than $500--any recommendations?
