Here's the solution I've been peddling (correct use of the that spelling, in this context) to everyone that will listen.
- 10 speed Campy Ergo brifters.
- 8 speed Shimano drivetrain.
The Campy 10-speed brifters pull the correct amount of cable for a Shimano 8-speed cassette/RD and work beautifully. The front shifter has a bunch of clicks and is basically a "friction" shifter. I have yet to find a FD that it doesn't work well with. I've done this setup on 4 bikes now and they've all turned out great.

Pfft... Because "shifter/brake controls" is so much easier to type, right? Brifter is the obvious combination of shifter and brake lever. What's wrong with that?
