I think you cannot go wrong with the HG41 cassettes. They are very
reasonably priced and maybe a bit sturdier than the HG50:
HG 41

cassette).
Recently I switched to using these on my RB-1.
I was experiencing shifting issues in the lower gears when using the
8-speed BES that I had on the bike.
Along with the switch to the HG41, I also installed NOS 7-speed
indexed DT shifters.
It now shifts like a dream in all gears.
Plus, the 11-28 cassette works fine with my (old) Shimano 600 RD.
If I want any lower gearing, I will swap out the crank for a compact
one, or a triple like the one you mention that you are using.
Personally I really dislike having anything larger than 28 in the
back, especially with a 7-speed cassette.
I tried a 32 (or was it a 30) and did not like the jumps at all.
This is so personal. I think the 13-30 is perfect, at least for a
touring bike.
