I stuck with freewheels, until Sheldon convinced me otherwise, while discussing which rear hub to use for a Raleigh Twenty build (7 gears) ... Something he pronounced definitively about less stress and strain on the bearings with a cassette. I took it on faith. Personally, I never noticed a difference. I also never knowingly rode a freewheel bike with more than 7 gears. I like to think that with 7 or less gears, it's all the same; with 8 or more gears cassettes are helpful.
