Shimano vs. SRAM vs. Campagnolo applications for road bikes., What is the best and why?

I'm collecting all the pieces necessary to construct a road bike from scratch and we decided to go with those parts of its Campagnolo Centaur gruppo. But I am interested by the opinions of other manufacturers and their products and want to hear the pros and cons of each ...

Each manufacturer has its advantages and disadvantages. It's more a matter of taste as to be really better. Safe to say that is a level playing field. Here are my views on the subject of any other will give them. Campagnolo has lived more than any other company to date. Campy tends to produce high quality pictures and pedigree. In the past they had quality problems of the late 80's - early 90's, but recovered and is up there with the other three. Advantages: Heritage reliable, parts are interchangeable throughout the line, change repairable. Cons: Things are not always readily available substitutes and I'm not a fan of their controls. It looked like they were designed for people with small hands. In addition, but you can repair Shifters Campy any person making it knows it is not easy. Shimano has long existed, but not so Campy. However, they are the first to use the index shift back in the '80s and pioneered the ITS system. It markets the index system in a way that made more larger than the other two by convincing vendors that the rate of change will only work with specific components Shimano, then the introduction TSI few years later. Advantages: Very reliable, easy pieces, go to any race (even in Europe), see more cars equipped support for Campy or Shimano SRAM, I love the feeling of its controls. It is a very diversified company that offers bicycle parts bottom feeder (eg department stores), platforms and high-end $ 10K. Disadvantages: Not all components are interchangeable online. It seems that the removal of old components quickly and force the landlord to upgrade the controls are crap when they fail. SRAM has been around a long time. They've said they used to be SACHS, but I can not confirm that. Anyway, very good components. Just a few years Shimano has been delayed on the orders of their components. Many roadies began looking into SRAM as an alternative. They really surprised SRAM cassettes and chains when they were as good as Shimano and were actually cheaper than buying. The funny thing is that bikers have used SRAM for time long enough. Grouppos now have full and they are all worthy of the race. Advantages: they are lighter on the market group, and has countless faithful. Functioning without problems. I have not tried the Web, but the strength of the horse very well. Cons: Changing the action has left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought the effort was too little to change the double-shift might take some getting used to, but I think a group this good should be more like groups Shimano or Campy. In addition, no other type is SRAM business? Remember this is my opinion
