Over the years I've used Campy, Shimano, Suntour and MicroShift(currently), all worked fine. I used brifters for 8-10yrs but switched back to bar ends about 5yrs ago. I'm building up another dropbar bike and will use Suntour ratchet friction that I got at my bike co-op recently very inexpensively. Lastly, I always run the bar ends in friction mode no matter the brand, just a retro trait I prefer.
Back to the op's question, I would get the Microshifts.
