I'm a Shimano guy. You can mix and match Dura-ace, Ultegra, 105, Sora, etc. It is very common on the lower end bikes to have 105 front and sora rear.

Ultegra is usually last years Dura-ace. Same with the 105. Usually the BEST price point for "performance" is Ultegra/105. I usually ran Ultegra.

Just make sure you have the right chain. 9-10 (rear gear) is different chain than 8 different than 11.

Honestly, most people run a double up front and 10 in the back. I am 3 years behind mechanically, these days...
