Theres another reason for ENIG that i forgot. If your boards are HASL, you will end up with two types of solder. The solder that the PCB fab used, and the solder you do. In some cases, this is a problem, in others not a problem..
With QFN Chips using HASL will have the effect of considerably increasing the defect rate, THough if you are handsoldering this, then i probalby wont' make much differences. Are you using a hand held hot air source to reflow it?
