Not a safe assumption. Shimano has grades ranging from Walmart to ProTour.
If you want Shimano, get something labeled "SUS" and probably with the standard SP41 housing.

Jagwire Pro kits are equal quality with Shimano.
Both Jagwire and Shimano are available in a wide range of colors. Since you're updating the bike, pick a color that looks nice with the frame colors.
