Agree with Jim Dawson, 120V at this Hp level is easier to move around if needed and/or you are limited on 240V availability/sockets. You will also get more linear torque with a VFD, and full Hp at 60Hz. A few cautions; on older motors, insulation breakdown can be an issue, not common but it does happen. The other concern would be metallic/conductive dust getting into the VFD, so probably need to mount in a NEMA 4X metal box The metal box would help dissipate some of the heat if the VFD is attached to it.
The new TecoL 510-101-H1 is also worth looking at http://dealerselectric.com/L510-101-H1-N.asp
