Shimano, easy to replace and maintain with an indexed downtube shifter, most importantly a wider choice of hubs (Chris King, Phil Woods, etc.)
The difference between the 8 and 10 speed is the closer ratios, which I enjoyed with the 12-25t cassette I was using, however, I never felt I needed more with the 6 speed 14-28 freewheel on my other bike.
I'm looking toward the 8 speed option due to cost and reliability.
Good shout on the DA derailleur, I'll try and getan unused long cage one.
