With Bitcoin BU getting more and more support from miners lately, I'm looking for good coins to hedge against the uncertainty of a hard fork. Any suggestions for coins that qualify?

Imho the best coin for your problem is Bitcoin. Yes, I mean that you should not buy altcoins if you don't really want to.
If the hardfork will happen at all, you will end up with BTC + BU (if your money is in a local/proper wallet).
Whether the hardfork will happen or not, the "winning" coin will come back to this value and even higher.
Whether the hardfork will happen or not, the altcoins market has a lot of uncertainty too, since they are bought for Bitcoin too.

Disclaimer: While this is my personal opinion, the decision is yours, so don't ask me for refunds if your decisions were wrong. Also you should not make investment decisions based on random people's ideas over the internet.

Thanks, that's an insight we share I guess. Still I like to have a plan B if things get nasty (which always happens in crypto when major volume is involved). There for sure will come a negative trend that first puts both sides down. The uncertainty of which one will win, might even bring the total down to early 2013 levels. In that case I would have liked to have a hedging coin that is solid enough to be standing more on its own rather than to be pegged into any BTC pair.
