Here is what I've decided to fit to the bike, along with the rear derailleur:
I just happened across this gorgeous golden champagne colored Bullet Bros. Hypertension, so of course I had to pick it up for this build, with all the existing precious metal colors. I also happened across this very interesting take on the usual rear derailleur pulley, called a Delta DeRoller. I have used many Avid Rollamajigs, and I have one of the Crud Cog Hogs, but I've never seen one of these before. Kona liked to use parts from Taiwan, so I think it fits nicely.
All that I'm waiting on to finish the build are some brass ferrules from Rivendell Cycles that shipped yesterday, and then the bike will be strung with cables and test ridden within a day of delivery. I also need to pick up some replacement 606 bearings and probably some different washers for the pulleys, which I think are ControlTech, but I can swap those in at any time after the first ride.
And as a bonus pic, here's the bike on two tires for the first time! The fork rebuild went off without a hitch, thanks to @Dr-Zocchi! It was deceptively simple, and I actually can't wait to rebuild the second fork that I have.
