Merckx Build "dilemma"

I have an inbound frame (Thanks Henry) I'm excited to build but need to do so with what is on hand. My original plan was to find a Motorola frame and build it with a DA 8s group I put together for a while, as semi-period correct. The new to me frame isnt motorola colors and sti came a touch later than the colorway so seems non period correct to still use the 8s DA... not that it is the ultimate goal to stay period correct at this point.

If I go non-period my choices expand to silver 10s record w/carbon shifters, a Daytona 10s group, or some mixture of Campy and shimano down tube shifters.
Wheels will be decided after the group but have either Record or 7403 hubs onto Archetype, OP, or Nemesis rims.

What would you choose from those choices? Here is a teaser pic of the frame.
