SRAM makes nice stuff. It costs a little more than Shimano (and IMO is nicer). Shimano shifting (to me) is intuitive. SRAM isn't. So I stick with Shimano. (I do have relatively small hands too.)
My one complaint with Shimano is how long the throw of the lever is to shift into the big chain ring. However, my bike has Sora shifters and a triple. The Ultegra+compact double I tried didn't have this problem.

I think I'm leaning towards the SRAM. If I didn't have choices, I'm sure I'd be fine with whatever - as long as it works. The Shimano was fine. Then I tried a bike with SRAM and it, too, was fine. Now I have a decision to make. The SRAM seems to work like the rapid fire shifters on my other bike. Repeated clicking to move more than one gear, so maybe that's why the transition doesn't seem difficult. Thanks everyone!
