Cassettes are $35, Long Cage RDs are around $50. They work perfectly with Ultegra, and the only difference is cost and a few grams. Art's Cyclery did a whole writeup on this, and basically said go with 105 cassettes and DRs, Ultegra cranks and chain and BB (for stiffness and wear resistance), DA if you can afford it. The shifters are all the same, and go with DA cables as that makes the most differences.
