I'd go with a 130 mm freehub and just do the extra work needed to make it fit into 126 mm dropouts. The amount of force needed is minor and, as operator noted, you avoid having an expensive paperweight or doorstop when your current frame finally bites the big one. You could retrofit a 7-speed freehub body and reduce the dish below even that on a 126 mm hub.

Freewheels of any kind are getting harder to find and are only in very limited gear ranges so sticking with freewheels is not a good long-term proposition. If you decide to do so, buy a bunch of what ever you need.

Apparently from your posting, you go through rims but make hubs last nearly forever. A 24 year old Maillard still in service? Congratulations! So, why pay the premium for a Phil when a Shimano 105 or similar will last for decades with minor care?
