Keep everything lubed, and as clean as reasonably possible, and carry on.
I like your approach.

First choice: Downtube shifters
Second choice: '97 Chorus/Record 9 speed ergo levers (with the pointy hood). I had a pair that lasted close to 15 years without any service. Plus they have a more tactile/"firmer" shift feel to them. I would just about kill to figure out how to convert them to 10 speed like Ullrich did.

I know you don't wanna hear this one but Shimano RSX 7s. I've got a bike that's seen 20 mins of maintenance in about 20 years. Still works like a charm.
