whatcha think about some new wheels?

I am about to go order my new Phil-based wheelset, probably at BikeWorks. I am going to have them laced to a mavic cxp series rim (silver) 36 hole, 3-cross.

My question is about the rear hub: single-fixed, fixed-free, double-fixed. What do you other bike folks think? Obviously fixed/free is the most versatile, but I have never ridden with an SS/freewheel yet...haven't even had the desire to. These wheels will be used on my 70's Paramount track bike. I have only been into the fixe/track thing for about 6 months now, so I am sure there are aspects of this decision that haven't occured to me.

Maybe I scrap the idea and build some wheels around an older campy "sherriff's badge" hubset (NR?). There are always lots of those, NOS, on eBay...and they look sweet!
