| I use shimano because it is easier to get parts for because it is so common. I do charity bike rides and have always found shimano stuff at the mechanical support tents. The bummer part is if you break it, you replace it as there are no small parts.campy - tends to be pricey and not very common on charity rides. Most of the shop near where I live stock very little or nothing at all. The plus side is that you can get darn near every little small part to fix it if you break it.SRAM - it's new so it may not be that common yet, it's also not cheap either. I don't know how many shops keep this stuff in stock (none in my area but there's a couple I haven't checked). I don't think there are small parts available for repairing it, but I haven't looked into it either. Everybody I've talked to that has ridden the SRAM components likes it, I have yet to try it so don't even get me to lying about it. It also hasn't been around near as long as campy or shimano either but only time will tell.
