They both make good quality components and the competition between them, and more recently with SRAM, means that we benefit as they try to improve the performance of their products.
Dammit's point on the 8 speed kit is interesting, as it's 15 years old now and shows how much shifting has improved.
Enjoy the competition, rather than getting involved in some utterly pointless comparison.
