Mikku:
Thought I'd resurrect this thread as my question's much the same. I currently have an old Suntour 16t on my Laserlite but it feels and sounds as though it's had better days. I've read the restoration sticky but have neither the tool, patience nor probably the skills to refurb it myself, so am therefore on the lookout for a replacement. Another Suntour or Shimano was my first thought but I keep reading great things about White Industries freewheels. Since these are not era-correct, would it be sacrilege to run one on an '83 Kuwi (rider)??

nosepickben:
I have a sturmey archer on my most recent build. Unfortunately not made in the UK these days but it was just over a tenner and it feels solid enough. Full chrome too. I couldnt part with that sort of cash for a white industries. ACS freewheels are ok as well.

Jon The Bassist:
If you're talking reasonably priced stuff then the Sturmey Archer one I had was very good - it was a very tight fit on the hub thread though.
ACS Crossfire are fairly decent as well - I've not tried the 'pro' version but the standard ones are pretty good for the money.

I break freewheels regularly so if anything lasts a few months with me it must be pretty strong and well made.

gib66:
the best freewheel i reckon on the market is a gt ratchet

they are instant engagement i used on for about 12 months and still runs like new
