The thing is, it's getting very close these days where you can pick all three and be happy.
Older Suntour stuff was light, strong, and relatively cheap compared to Campagnolo and shifted far better.
After nearly 200 km I am pretty happy with the new SRAM on my pocket tourer... shifting is excellent and I really like the cable routing.
