How about either a Nervar Star or a Stronglight crankset as a period-correct, high-quality, good-looking, lower-priced alternative to Campagnolo? You could also "cheat" with a vintage Campag.-clone Sugino crankset.

As for the rear axle, I would vote for 130mm with your 6-speed freewheel. Stacking a bunch of spacers on the LEFT side of the axle would then enable you to reduce the rear wheel dish significantly.
