If you have the money to spend and want by far the nicest freewheel you can get the White one is what you should go for. Its the smoothest, best engaging, and longest lasting freewheel you can find. It is also the most serviceable one on the market. Which means that if something does go wrong you can take it apart and fix the problem, elongating the life even more.
-Also have a Shimano, it's nice as well, but I'm a WI fanboy.
-ACS = ovalized P.O.S.

I like the white industries freewheels too. They're expensive but they're built well. I've been riding the same one for several years, and it's in the same condition as the day I got it pretty much.

Didn't bother to read everything, but as far as the miche crankset, it's awesome. I bought mine Feburary 2008 and love it. I was giving my bike a much needed cleaning yesterday, using some metal polish to remove built up grease and grime on my frame since i hadn't cleaned it in at least 6 months. It was then i realized how well certain components have treated me.
The miche crank, bb, and chain ring have been running perfect since the day they were installed
The original H+son rims, also from 19 months ago have been great, although i was a bit skeptical after that single taco incident that was everywhere
The dura ace hubs have been perfect. At first I struggled a bit with the loose ball bearing and wondered if I should have gotten something sealed, but once I get it down, i love them. No issues at all with the hubs. Clean them every 4 months or so. Replaced the balls once.
Even my (i know, haters be hating) Leader 725tr frame has treated me great with only 1 small issue. When my bike was stolen, it was missing for 6 weeks and somewhere in there I think the rear wheel was ridden loose, and the axle bolt cut into the inside of the rear drop outs. Now I have to tighten the non-drive side first or the axle spins and grind away at the aluminum. I figure if i'm still riding the frame in a few years and it's an issue, i can just have the ends replaced for cheap enough. To credit leader, they did offer to help the issue, but I never followed through with them
