Equipping the frame... best bang for the buck in components? Brakes, derailleurs, etc

Hi,

Assuming a I build or modify a frame in the next month or so, I will need to populate it with its associated components. I don't know what's good and what's not.

I know you can spend as much as you like on components, or as little as you like for crap.

I'm looking for suggestions for the sweet spot -- well functioning, durable, reliable, light weight components that are a really good bargain.

Assume a 10 speed cassette and dual chainrings in front. Everything else on the table.

thanks,
