Budget and required gear range would narrow it down.
There's a good choice of aluminium framed, Shimano 8spd IGH, hybrid style bikes, I'd be fine with one of them on any 11 mile commute I've had. Here's an example from Ridgeback that comes fully equipped

Or if you like the idea of steel and building it up yourself, a couple of Surly frames might fit the bill, I have an Ogre, it has dropouts suitable for IGH or derailleur and can be built up in a variety of ways, but non of them light! Other Surly models that might suit are the Straggler and the now obsolete Troll (You might find S/H or NOS)
Before getting the Ogre, four other bikes under consideration were, Genesis Longitude, SOMA Wolvarine, Thorn Nomad MKIII, Brother Big Bro. All are possibly OTT for commuting, but why not? When I had something similar - 13 miles each way, 8 on cinder track and one big hill - I bought a Thorn Raven, twenty years later I no longer have the bike, but I'm still using the Rohloff and SON hubs, so it wasn't a bad buy!
You might also consider what other use you could get out of it and how it fits in with the bikes you already have.
Lastly, I like IGH's, all but one of my bikes have them, I also prefer purpose made frames with either EBB or some form of horizontal dropout, but IMO it isn't a deal breaker. I have two hubs with tensioners, and apart from collecting muck in the same way a derailleur does, it makes little other difference. A couple of Round the World record holders have used them (Mark Beaumont on a Rohloff and Vin Cox on an Alfine) and it doesn't seem to have bothered them.
