If you want to spend your entire life being subject to recalls... ;-)
@Ollie - you've opened our favourite discussions here.
My only recommendation I ever really make is work out your budget and stretch it by 10%. You'll ride the bike more, if only out of guilt at having spent more than you should have. ;-)

Also do not discount sram groupsets, the gear changing mechanism if different to shimano and I prefer it. The brake lever doesn't move, instead it is all done with the paddles.
I have apex on my commuter/winter and rival on my carbon. Not really much difference, rival is a little smoother.
Apex ~ 105/Tiagra
Rival ~ 105/Ultegra
Force ~ Ultegra
Red ~ Dura Ace
