Tiagra is fine if you are not racing or a little more than a casual cyclist. I would go for 105. I believe Tiagra has more plastic pieces in its design making it less durable. I’m a touring rider, not a racer, but I put a lot of force/torque on my gear (I don’t spin-up, I go heavy gear and pump on hills).
