You have a lot more choices than shimano and WI for freewheels. The best freewheel depends on what you plan on using it for. Here are some more examples.

Whats more important to you....price, the number of engagement points, amount of drag, the sound it makes, whether the bearings are sealed, rebuildable? Ive used a lot of cheap and high end freewheels and in my experience, they all hold up just fine even in nasty winter conditions. The unsealed ones can get a bit gritty sounding inside, but you can easily rebuild most of them and most of the time a squirt of 4d-40 will loosen them up. I've never had a problem with even the cheapest freewheel.
