DT, Ergo, electronic = they each work.
Friction shifting with good housing&cable has been the most reliable (over the years) with zero maintenance.
Just me but one bike experience with electronic reliability was not good and with the arrival of arthritis in my hands and back bar ends have been very helpful and +25 miles aero bars as well.
