Yep, it's mainly about rim choices, but 5-lugs are stronger too. Plus, most '5 star' wheels look silly with 4 lugs, IMO.
You can do a 5-lug conversion with drum brakes in the back to help save money - a friend of mine did this swap by specifing the drum brakes from an 80's Courgar or Thunderbird - can't remember the exact year or model.
