What is wrong with Shimano and Campagnolo? I think Modolo made some kind of STI-like device several years ago, but it didn't function all that well and was kind of ugly.

Tiagra is 9 speed for at least the last 5 years.

The new Sora is also 9 speed (it also has the little gear indicter window introduced with Tiagra). I think they may have updated Tiagra to 10 speed for 2008.

get used 105 9-speed (ebay maybe). They'll be cheap.

If you want cheap, why not just buy bar end shifters? They are a lot cheaper than Shimano STI.
Note that Campagnolo ergo levers are not that expensive. I've seen 10 speed Mirage for $120.

I thought that shimano 10 speed STI will work with 9 speed.
