It's arguable to the point where it's a bit of a 'beating on a dead horse" sorta thing. Some people will say:
Tiagra = Apex
105 = Rival
Ultegra = Force
Dura Ace = Red.
Others will say that 105 = Apex and Ultegra = Rival and soforth. (Force was SRAM's first product line so its a weird one.)
I prefer the overall feel of SRAM and not a big fan of Shimano's lever and shifting mechanism. They feel clunky and cheap but this comes down to a personal preference. SRAM components are notably lighter than their Shimano counterparts.
