Shimano parts tend to be the best bang for the buck, they work well, have a decent price point and are dependable usually (there's always duds in everything.)

If I'm replacing a freewheel I will at least replace the chain as well, and ideally the chainrings as well this can add up quite quickly on a simple overhaul job but it can be quite worth it with how smooth the drivetrain can be become.

Megarange is great for hills, if your RD can handle the large cog.
