I tried both, regular housing and compressionless, the later shifting much better. You have to over shift just a bit, but it works really well.
This is when I first tried a shimano Freewheel, and a few different inserts in the shifter. Silly me, all the answers were in my Southerlands Sixth Edition. Green insert for Shimano , blue for Regina Syncro.
I know we've had this conversation before, but I will try one more time. The below is the graph you were referring to was taken from the above graph as an example how it would work. The inserts are matched to the derailleur and the graph shows which freewheels will work with the insert, not which insert will work with which freewheel; no matter which freewheel you use, the insert will always be the same for the particular derailleur. Below is shows the 7 speed Athena/Xenon derailleur requires a blue insert and will work with a Campagnolo approved 90-s 7 speed freewheel and the others listed above. The 7 speed Chorus derailleur requires a green insert and will work with a Shimano SIS 7-speed freewheel/cassette and others listed above. The above graph also shows which chains work best with which freewheels.
Edit: actually the below graph adds two freewheels to the above graph.
