You can also choose between various goods. Plus your concept of hell seems to be based on the false idea that people get sent their against their will. And the types of love that free will allows includes mutual love between people. A universe without free will is a universe without voluntary love of any kind.
The majority of Christians believe that hell is a place of eternal physical torture. A few believe that hell is a separation from god that leaves the victim depressed and sad forever. A smaller number of Christians believe that hell is metaphorical and doesn't exist at all.
Why would I voluntarily send myself to a place of eternal torture or somewhere that I am always depressed? That makes no sense. It is a cop out for Christians so that they can say that their deity is perfectly good despite the fact that torture for any length of time is evil.
