In the house at the moment we've got three road bikes, 2 track bikes and one road bike converted to fixed. (And an MTB in a box under the stairs, but we don't talk about that).
Road bike #1 is Ultegra with a DA rear mech. It works, all the time every time. Easy to service and set-up.
Road bike #2 is Chorus Carbon, again it works, it's easy to service, but I'm not a fan of the shifters.
Road bike #3 is older Chorus 8 speed- really fiddly to get it set-up well, but works ok when you get it dialled in. I still don't get on with the shifters.
In my limited experience modern Shimano and Campag perform almost the same, however I get on with the Shimano shifters far more than I do the Campag. The Campag ones remind me of Sora.
The older Campag is much more of a pain to set-up than older Shimano.
All in my limited experience.
