If you are running a shimano rear derailleur I would recommend Campy veloce brifters with a "shimergo" setup. Campy 10 speed cable pull is an almost exact match to the Shimano 8 cable pull.

I think the Campy brifter has better ergo's and you can shift it from the drops no problem (unlike some of the shimano brifters). Also, the cable routing is below the bar tape, and they come in either black or silver levers. I have multiple bikes with this setup, and compared to the comparatively priced sora shifters I once had the performance is night and day. I don't like the Shimano shift with the brake lever setup, especially on descents where you have to shift while braking.

$100 or so from Ribble, including fresh cables.
