I would find a fremeset you like, Synapse Sectaur, Domain and go for Tiargra or better as you can afford. SRAM is all good. But for Shimano stay with Tiagra or better to get the dual lever shifting.

First bike was Sora and 2nd 105. I did not have a problem with Sora but even after a year with 105- I was looking for the lever to upshift.
