It's a win-win.
Cassettes come in a wider variety of cog combinations.
Free Hubs aren't prone to bending/breaking axles.

That is what I'm trying to get to, eventually. I'm mostly trying to get it on the road right now, and without replacing the actual wheels/hubs I can get away with just replacing the freewheel sprockets. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep upgrading this bike, or just find another.
