If you prefer Ergo like me then IMO the best shifting you'll experience is Ergo on Hyperglide. But then I have NFI whether Campag have improved on the crappy Exadrive of ten years ago.

I'd say get a Shimano hub on there, but not cause you're necessarily better off using all the same gear; because Shimano does a proper freehub and Hyperglide AFAIK wins.

If you can get your head around all the reasons why componentry may not be compatible and cover those bases, there's no reason you can't have a better, more optimised system than you'd have using parts from one maker exclusively.

Shimano do some things better than Campy and vice versa. If you can make each other's best bits play nice, you're in front IMO.
