I'll start first.
2200: Front Derailleur
Sora: Rear derailleur
Tiagra: Hubs
105: Brakes
Ultegra: Shifters
Dura Ace: Crankset (need it light!)
Sorry Campy and SRAM play elsewhere...

wouldn't this be impossible since sora is 8 speed and everything else is 9 speed?

^ Marketing folks would want you to believe that. But in reality, rear derailleurs aren't very smart devices. All they do is pull and release cable tension. RDs have no concept of "speeds". The amount of "speed" be it 7, 8, 9, 10 is determined by the cassette and shifter.
Therefore Sora '8spd' RD can be used with other cassettes. BTW, the new RD3400 Sora is rated at '9spd'.
