If you're buying new, the 10 speed conversion recommended above makes sense as the cost difference is not that great. However, if you're going used, 9 speed stuff can be had really cheap, especially 105 level. Very good stuff, for a low price.
As for making the conversion, I've converted/upgraded two vintage road bikes and find those are the two I ride. It's your bike, convert it to help you ride more.
