So does this mean that we should always enable armeabi-v7a in cases when we
use a lot of multi threading and floating point operations?

I guess the trade off in this case is that if we include both there will be
a bigger .apk as a result? Anything else?

The largest differences are in hardware floating point support and SMP
(multi-CPU) support.

armeabi supports neither, so if you use lots of floating point math you'll
be using a software FPU, and if you run on an multi-CPU device such as the
Xoom or the Samsun Galaxy S II you'll be tied to one core.

armeabi-v7a supports both, allowing faster floating point execution and the
use of all available cores.
