You're never gonna be as Rad as Pickle mate, so don't worry ;-)

Either will be sound for day to day riding but if you're gonna go all Hofman on the ramps then the comforting sound of the claw would be my choice.

All cheap freewheels are shite

Unless your going mental you won't have any issues with the shimano

White industries if you want one that'll be indestructable... but they're pricey... :-\
