It did come with the Ultegra rear der (10 spd) and the barrel stops, so I can always run it as a 10 speed, i'd just have to find all the parts for it. It would be fun to make it into a all original Campy bike, but I wouldnt even know what Campy this bike would have run.
From the information posted above this was a custom frame. So IMO it has no "original" components and you're free to build it up with whatever you want. Personally I'm a fan of Shimano based on cost and parts availability but go with whatever you want.
Throw a 700c wheelset in there and actually measure the reach you need. If this frame is from the later 80s it may not need as long of reach brakes as you'd expect.
