Threaded headsets
What do you all like for threaded headsets. I'm building my gf's bike and am lacking only headset, stem and spokes. Needs to be 1" threaded, in silver or black. I'd like to not have to service it for years. Besides King, what are good options? Campy (matches group)?

The only Shimano part I have on my bike is a 600/Ultegra headset. It uses cartridge bearings that I change every other year- a 10 minute job, and it is relatively inexpensive.
