Picked up some new 2009 SRAM Rival Shifters to go with my Force Dérailleurs... unbelievable quality for the $205 I paid. I know everyone knows this already... but I just had to agree. Rival is the best bang for the buck of any groupo IMO.

Rats. I thought I got a deal at $250 for Rival shifters.
But I agree on the bang/$, nothing else is close. I just replaced my Ultegra 9 with Rival 10.

Campy 11 levers can be bought for $207. SRAM is so good that it warrants a thread for being at the same price? That is a serious question.

Pricing for Campy levers is cheap relative to both Shimano and SRAM, other parts are the other way around so there is no savings overall after you assemble a group.
