I've found that shifting wise, a properly adjusted SRAM & a properly adjusted Shimano shifts about the same. It is easier to adjust a SRAM because of its 1:1 shift ratio vs. Shimano 2:1. This means the "Sweet spot" is bigger and easier to hit on SRAM. The folks that say that they can't ever get thier Shimano to shift correctly probably do not know what they are doing.
