+1 for shimano. I love Campagnolo, but shimano can't be touched for function and range. Campag means nothing to MTBers.
I must say I quite like that about them. They do highish-midrange to top-end road stuff. That's what they do. That sort of singlemindedness is part of what makes a really good brand in my book - it's a larger scale version of Royce making only hubs and BBs or Storck only making super-whizzy ultralight bikes.
