You mention that you have Shimano 105 parts currently. You don't mention how old they are, but if they are from the mid-2000s, then you pretty much have technology that is lighter and as technically advanced as anything you will get from Riv (or anything this group will recommend, except for Jim's SRAM, and even that I don't know would be any lighter or better functioning).
Functionally and value-wise, the 105 group pretty much can't be beat. Everything else is for fun (which is really what most of us here do---friction / non-aero levers / etc. for the fun of it). Or going lighter because you can. Dura Ace is Shimano's best and lightest, then Ultegra, then 105. The fancy boutique parts manufacturers include Paul (brakes, levers), Phil (hubs/bottom brackets), Chris King (hubs/headsets), White Industries (hubs). Around here, Nitto parts and Grand Bois parts also get high marks. Any of these would put the bling in your bike and make it more unique and win the admiration of us bike-geeks.
