SRAM has a slightly heavier lever action, but tbh I think that's an advantage mountain biking. I had a Saint 10sp with Zee mech, which is about as nice-feeling as Shimano gets, and it was still ugly as sin and I ended up double-shifting a lot by accident. Now have 10sp X0. If I was buying new, I'd get GX Eagle and some sexier cranks.
Just go to a decent bike shop and have a play on some properly setup bikes.

Shall I just go all SRAM for matchy matchy sake?
The main reason why I don't like SRAM is I have SRAM on my road bike and I absolutely cannot get on with the double tap system... obviously with flatbar there isn't that issue? Any 'downside' of SRAM in terms of shifting?
