My thoughts 15 years ago, I was going to get one brand and stick with it. I got campy, problem is for the touring bike, campy doesn't make touring drive train. so now I have a blend of campy on some bikes and shimano on the others. My folder came with a grip shift and a couple of my straight bar bikes have thumb shifters and rapid fire shifters. I have only mis-shifted a couple of times when riding the bike with Ultegra shifters for a month then using a bike with campy on it.
