Recent switcher, just got my mbp about 10 days ago. I use a web-based email account (UW alumni, go Badgers!) and would like to know how to make it my default when I click on hyperlinked email addresses. I'm a pretty basic email user and don't have any interest in learning to use osx's mail program.

If your email is web based (like gmail)... I don't believe you can set it to be the default email without using Mail.app. (or thunderbird, or entourage, etc)
I know you didn't want to hear about Mail.app BUT, I have Mail.app set-up using my gmail account (also web based)... So when I click an addy, Mail opens a new mail to send through/from my gmail account.
If you need any help setting it up just let me know...

AFAIK, it is not possible to link a web based mail application as a default mail client. The default mail client should be installed on you mac for this option to work. Configuring Mail.app is not that difficult. May be you should give it a try.
