Since you need a special tool and some kind of lever either way, my vote is for a cassette wheel.

Tweaking the axle spacing to reduce asymmetric dishing isn't a bad idea either -- that's why MTB wheels went to 130mm and 135mm spacings before road bikes. The extra axle spacing is on the NDS. Running a 7-speed Freehub with 4mm extra spacers on the NDS in a 130mm-spaced bike would give a pretty strong wheel, too.
