what is more important is your brake pads. save some money and get the tektros and spend $15 on kool-stops.
if both are dual-pivots, the difference will be marginal. what will make a vast difference is the type (or condition) of your brake pads and proper adjustment.
I prefer neither tektro or campagnolo; I like shimano, particularly ultegra calipers. but that's a personal opinion.
yup, its all opinion. ive been running the same chorus calipers for years and thousands of miles. got em with an 8spd groupo, used them with my record 10spd setup, and now the front is my "emergency brake" on my fixed gear. the pads last forever as well. (although they are not the strongest compound ever)
