I read a seriously nerdy study of performance vs weight vs cost for Shimano, Campy and SRAM.
Campy Centuar won in terms of "bang for your buck" as the americans like to say, Ultegra SL was one of the worst. The top of the range gruppo from each manufacture was unsupprisingly over priced. This was just after the SRAM gruppos came out though so I suspect they are better value now.
I'd say Ultegra, Force, or Centuar. have a feel of the hoods + decide how much of a positive action you like, to pick the make.
Shimano = smooth*
Campy = postive*
SRAM = inbetween*
(*i think)
