To me, Campy shifters just fit like a great pair of Italian shoes. I can drop five gears at a time in one push of the thumb button. I like that the shifter and break are not the same lever. Finally, Campy will last forever since it can be rebuilt. Up until this year, Shimano didn't have hidden cables.

SRAM would be my next choice since I don't really care for the feel of Shimano shifters.
