A choice of components. Cyclone vs Shimano

I'm building up a new bike for my brother, mostly from components i have in the parts bin, and I'm trying to decide which deraileurs to use. My choices are either suntour cyclone, or shimano light action. I haven't ridden a bike with either of them, as the suntour came on a frame I bought and they were replaced in the build-up, and the shimano are on a bike that I'm getting to strip into a fixed gear. I've heard good things about the cyclones and that some people prefer them to superbe. But how are the light action shimanos? The shimanos appear to be newer, but with a bit of cleaning, i think the cyclones would look pretty nice too.
