But for my money, the best friction levers made are indexed levers - Shimano ones switched to friction. As good as it gets.
Having used them all... there is nothing better than Simplex retrofriction shifters but if you are considering a balance between cost and effectiveness, Suntour half ratchet shifters are excellent in every respect.

Campy shifters are pretty but functionally, they are no different from just about every other straight friction lever.
