I’m not sure which derailleur I will use yet but I plan on using the Rivendell friction shifter, it is good for up to 9 gears.
Microshift makes the M10/M11, which is a Shimano compatible 10 or 11-sp thumbshifter (indexed or friction) they also offer a matching 2/3-sp left shifter, and the whole set bears a striking resemblance to the classic SunTour XCD gruppo, for bonus retro points
