I currently have 355 music files that I'd love to share, but since LimeWire does not (AFAIK) have the option to hide shared files like Kazaa Lite K++, I'm not sharing any files.

Well--maybe not. The spirit is willing but the knowledge is weak. I think sellers found out elsewhere that "hiding" just hides from yourself, and that anyone nasty can find out who is sharing.

Are you afraid of the entertainment industry? Does your country have stupid copyright laws? You don't share because you are afraid you get caught for doing so? The newest versions of Kazaa Lite (2.10 build 3 and newer) have the solution for you!
It is now possible to prevent other people from listing your shared files (find more from same user). Go to Options -> More Options. There you can enable the option to prevent people from listing your shared files.
There is just one little downside to this, because it may let people think that you are not sharing any files. But for some people privacy is what counts. Enabling the option doesn't mean that you don't share files anymore! People just can't list your shared files anymore. In fact more people should be able to start sharing because of this.

I do prefer LimeWire now though...more reliable.

What has Kazaa's extra security settings and features done for the fasttrack network? Not alot. It's still the number one target of the industry dogs, and since its the most widely known network to date it will prolly stay that way for a while, so whats the real point? I did enjoy k-lite during its few years of glory, but lets face it. Kazaa is kaput.

Well, if I were still using KL, I'd be inclined to continue it's defence, but I'm using LimeWire now, and with the exception of the video search, it kicks KLs a** to the curb.
