I had a pair of BB7s with Campag levers. They were awful, no modulation, no bite but most infuriating of all, needed near constant adjustment as every time you used them they'd slacken off. This was way back in 2009 though, when their weren't many options for cable discs.
I've used both BB7s and Spyres with SRAM S500 levers and the latter were much, much better than BB7s. I'm not sure if they would work as well with Campag levers though, as I'm not sure if the cable pull on them has changed in the last 8 years. But then I don't know if it was the cable pull or the BB7s that were shit, always assumed it was the latter.
