New here... internal hub vs derailleur?

Wow, I had that same bike (Lady Raleigh Sports 3 with the Sturmey Archer 3 speed) and I rode it up steep hills from age 11 to 15. I guess that's why youth is for the young. Seriously, if you know Baldpate Hill Rd. in Newton, MA, that's what I am talking about. It's a street almost exactly like the one I live on now, a steep, number 9 shaped hill.
I could kick myself for letting this bike go. After I moved to Miami and got my license, I rarely rode. But, i took it back up here when I went to college and it sat in my aunt's basement for like 15 years. I guess she sold it...
And that 10 speed Univega with a double I got rid of when I became a real cyclist would have been a great commuter.

Thanks for all the help! I ended up with the the 3i in a beautiful red color! I was able to get a good deal on the bike too so I'm happy with my purchase. I'll try to get pics up this week.
