SRAM Red.
(By the way, it's either group or gruppo; there's no such word as groupo.)

What help? All you got was a bunch of people spewing out what advertising department they have fallen prey to.
Edit: I realized that perhaps you work for an advertising agency and are covertly conducting a survey. In which case, I guess you did get help.

Super Record. It's cooler than the others. It will separate you from the shimano sheep. Buy it now. Buy a set for me. Buy it now. Buy a set for me. Buy it now. Buy a set for me. Buy it now.

For a new bike that wouldn't run larger tires and fenders, I'd go Rival or Force. For a new bike with larger tires and fenders I'd go Ultegra or Dura Ace with R-650 brakes.

I think the brakes are the least important item when it comes to choosing a group. Not that brakes aren't important, but that they have no impact on how the rest of the group performs. You can easily step out of the box for brakes... unless of course you drink the "everything must match" kool-ade.

I've got bikes with DA 7800, Campy Record 10 and SRAM Red. Love 'em all. Slight nod to SRAM. I've never tried DA 7900 or Campy 11 speed Record or SR.
