I buy Shimano simply because of SRAM's distributor system. It doesn't matter how good their stuff is if I can't get it from the vendors I want to buy from because I live in Canada. I am not horribly picky about shifting and braking \[wandering bite point aside\] so at the end of the day I don't care what I hang on my bike as long as it's available for purchase, it works and the price isn't crazy.
