Its pretty much down to personal opinion on feel. Shimano is a silky feeling smooth shift while SRAM is more of a definitive reassuring click (nice kind of solid but light click). Personally I like the SRAM feel myself. I have had way more luck with longevity issues with SRAM. I have tuned tons and tons of derailleurs while working in a shop and the SRAM's tend to stay in tune longer and have a way longer life span the the shimano. You cant beat another XO set.
im just like you then. i have used shimano since my norco scrambler... lol. i like the click too.

I mean after a month the shimano set just feels lifeless and worn out.

Sram is definitely a nicer feel, the one down side to it is that there not as strong as shimano, but they feel/work amazing!

Really? Huh, my experiences lead me to disagree. I have had and seen other people have far better luck with SRAM then Shimano as far as breaking goes.

alright, so now i know i am getting the mope m4 evo tech. but now should i get the special edition (black and green) or normal (silver and black) (to match) and if i get the silver, i would have a few options, eithere the tech evo lever, or the race lever, (race is $20 more) and then i could go with normal black hoses, or steel braided hoses (30 more)

Normal silver would match most of your other components far better. And steel braid looks bad ass.

Crank set: http://raceface.com/components/cranks/atlas/atlas-fr/ in purple nurple color.
Pedals: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=xpedo&gs_upl=3404l3690l1l3853l2l1l1l0l0l0l143l143l0.1l2l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1351&bih=802&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=3968421102897881271&sa=X&ei=A2LiTqa1C6bgiALWv8GpDw&ved=0CE8Q8gIwBQ

If you really want some blinging pedals, look at Twenty6 and ask if they could do urban camo but instead of that they could to white and pink ano. Explain to them that it is for cancer awareness
