They can take a beating as the bike they are on has been ridden and abused and they still have a solid smooth action. I like the Deore line personally.
Pros - can take a beating
- smooth action solid feeling
- light
Cons - mine only shift in one direction, they are older though... so a 4 out of 5
A bit faster than the previous setup I had, so I like this setup. The previous owner hand not used the bike often, so it has taken some WD-40 and use to get the thumb shifters back into easy movement. A great shifter set.
Pros Fast shifting
Consistent
Cons Will stiffen up if not lubed in regular intervals, nothing a little WD-40 can't fix
Upgraded from Deore along with XT Shadow deraileur. Great upgrade. they shift smooth and have snappy trigger response. And Xt is almost as good as XTR, costs a fraction of the price, and doesn't weigh much more. I got the black ones, they look sweet....
Great shifters, haven't had a problem yet.
Pros
Triggers out of your way
Top trigger can be pushed forward or backward
no bulk
Cons
| ThankBrake lever cannot slide over all the way by the shifter like some setups. (Not a huge deal)

I'd buy another pair if I wanted to set up another 9 speed drivetrain.
Pros
Smooth shifting even after 4 years of use. Decently rugged and shifts in both directions (thumb thumb and thumb forefinger).
Cons

These shifters came stock on Dakar XCT 3 and i love them. They do what they are suppose to do
Pros
crisp shifting and nice to look at.

Great shimano triggers. Still prefer SRAM shifting as it is in my opinion more crisp.
Pros
Light. Love the 2 way release.
Cons
| ThankNot a fan of shimano shifting. Not bolt action quick as SRAM.
