Do you want a (screw-on) freewheel or a freehub? All modern freewheels use the same ISO threading, and modern freehubs are either Campagnolo-compatible or, more commonly, Shimano-compatible.

From what I have seen Shimano makes one of the best but it does cost a bit more then others. Your local shop should be able to set you up.

All you need is the freewheel. But, you might want to get the matching tool at the same time so you can take it off later.
