Yeah, I appreciate what you mean. Bar-end/DT shifters or hidden routing is your only real option. Whatever you do, don't bother using 9spd stuff, it's no better than 10spd in terms of longevity. Better to go for 5700 and have a spare quick link.
If I change it will likely be to 11 speed and hydraulic discs, or if the new tiagra shifters come up cheap somewhere (now internally routed).
