any suggestions?
Go for the one whose hood shape agree with you the best.
I wouldn't know, all my extended gears riding has been with downtube shifters.
I used the old Shimano 600 8 speed stis for a while and didn't mind them.
For the moment I intend to use some campag 9 speed stuff I have acquired recently so can see how I get on with the hoods on those.
Go to a dealer and test ride a bike with each brand.
