Speaking of disc brakes, I've now found the perfect levers/disc combo.

Avid BB7 Road paired with Cane Creek SCR-5, it felt like a normal cantilever brakes without any extra adaption needed such as the Travel Agent.

The worse, funnily enough, are SRAM.

Shimano Tiagra and 105 felt great with road disc, Sora (old style) doesn't, haven't tried the new one that come with a switch to change pull ratios.

Can't speak for Ultegra or Dura Ace.

SRAM, apart from the new Red (haven't tried that), have appalling performance, which can be fixed with Travel Agent.

Haven't tried Campagnolo.

Each to their own. But I've used eggbeaters in some pretty fecking extreme conditions, and find they are more open than SPDs.

That I agree with, I have to take the pedals out to try and pry the muds out of them as there's a pebble inside it that won't come off.
