For "really" good freeware FSX copters, the choice is extremely limited, unfortunately :/
You should get following ones:
  • The Enstrom 280 by "eagle rotorcraft simulations". A small helicopter with very cool and easy to use virtual cockpit, good-looking external model (floats and skis) with nice textures are beatutiful blurred rotor effect.
  • the Super Puma by Dirk Fassbender. Excellent external model with a lot of repaints, excellent virtual cockpit with a lot of interactive buttons
  • the HC-21 Shawnee by Mick Posch, a bi-rotor vintage helicopter, with one of the best-looking virtual cockpits ever !
  • the BO-105 variations (military and others) by Dirk Struck, more or less same level of quality as the super-puma.

There are other helicopters which are quite good but not on the same level as the ones above. Some of them are in real native FSX format, like the OH-6 by Tim Conrad, or the S-55 by Alphasim (now freeware) and some others, but they have simplified avionics and physics. Most of the other copters are in FS9 format, which can lead to performance hit sometimes. Finally, some copters are good but incomplete. One of the most famous examples is the Bell 412 from HoverControl.org, fine model, good instrumentation, good realism, but only usable from 2D panels, because the VC is not clickable. But if you are a 2D pilot, then you should give that one a chance !

Yes, the world of FSX native helicopters is really limited. Most of the good ones are payware, and those would be by Dodosim and Cera Sim Aircraft. We (Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations) are working to expand the number of amazing freeware helicopters. We've got lots of upcoming/planned releases in FSX native format, including a Bell 222A with full start up/shutdown set up, as well as many different visual features.  :D
