I really like 13-26 and 14-26 6- or 7-speed freewheels, but they can be pretty hard to find. Fortunately I have a pretty good stash of SunTour cogs, including 26T.

I run 47-38/13-15-17-19-21-23 (Regina America) on Capo #1 , with an SRAM PC58 chain and Campag. 980 rear derailleur, and I can make the chain skate on the cogs if I mis-shift. It's pretty easy to avoid, but disconcerting that it can happen. With Japanese freewheels or cassettes I have rarely had this problem.
