I have found one of the best setups for friction shifting is a nice vintage Suntour or Malliard Ultra spaced 6 speed freewheel with a modern sram 8 speed chain can be somewhat pricey $80-100 for freewheel and chain. My second choice would be a modern HG type 6speed with a KMC 8speed about $30. since the difference is marginal I would go for the second and spend the extra money on other stuff.
