I would have thought that SRAM is now the obvious choice for any general bike. Having the Apex rear mech/cassette in such a wide ratio, mean's that it'll do you for everything. Fair enough, you're not going to need the range for commuting, but if you're doing long rides, it means you never have to think about swapping anything.
I also really like the fact that the road and mtb stuff is all interchangeable... maybe it's not something you'll ever use, but the idea appeals to me for long term versatility.
Altho on the SRAM point, Dov said somewhere that next seasons is getting a serious upgrade. I don't know if that'll effect the Apex stuff.
Plus (because it does matter) at the moment SRAM are probably the best looking groupset manufacturer.
