Just a dissenting voice here... you *can* use 8-speed ultegra indexing shifters with a 7-speed IRD freewheel with perfectly satisfactory results.
I'm sure the silver shifters are great; I have some I intend to set up to see what they're like. But the choice of friction versus ultegra 8-speed indexing is truly independent of whether you choose a cassette hub or a Phil freewheel hub for a IRD 7-speed freewheel. You can use either shifters with either a Shimano-compatible 8-speed cassette or a Phil freewheel 7- speed IRD freewheel setup.
