My options for 3x7 STI is Microshift, MicroNew (clone I think) and Shimano Tourney. I'd go with the Microshift in hopes for the best quality.

I just looked up micronew...what on earth.
I have a set of 2x7 microshift and love em. The dedicated shift paddles in addition to the brake lever is easy to get used to and i like it a lot.
