No go with mixing with SRAM shifters and Shimano rear mech. They don't mix and do not shift well, at all. (for 10 and 11 spd anyway) ASk me how I know.

You can however run 10 or 11 spd on your bike (if should be wide enough) but a new shifter, rear derailleur cassette and a new specific chain for 10 or 11 spd.

I am a huge Shimano fan. Switched form Campagnolo years ago. They just work and work. I have SRAM Force 10 spd on one of my bikes and this thing has not missed a shift no matter how hard I beat on it. The original chain was not changed for two years and it still worked very well. Finally it got changed out because I value my nuts more then 30 bucks. It was stretched that was for sure.
