Campagnolo has fixed brake blades, a paddle to go larger, and thumb button reachable from the drops for smaller.

Standard Campagnolo 8/9/10 speed ergo levers through the 2008 model year will run any front derailleur (double, triple, mountain tamer quad, daVinci quad), and can be paired to Shimano derailleurs/cassettes with a jtek shiftmate. Campagnolo 10 levers will also run SRAM road derailleurs without an adapter according to Lennard Zinn.

The left lever has 12 positions, with 3-4 used for Campagnolo doubles and 6-7 Campagnolo triples.

Ultrashift levers (2009-2010 Veloce and above, 2011+ Chorus and above 11 speed only) will also run triples with that sort of trim setup, but use 6 of 6 for Campagnolo triples and may come up short with other derailleurs.

Escape levers (2007-2008 Veloce/Centaur) have indexed front positions which should be less friendly to mix and match. PowerTap (all 10 speed and Athena made from 2011 on) may too.
