Will these shifters work with a shimano XT front and rear derailluar?

Front yes

Rear NO

ok - thank you.

SRAM Attack shifter is Shimano compatible.

Shimano triggers are better anyway.
The shimano and SRAM systems use different amounts of cable pull for a given amount of rear deraileur movement. SRAM pulls more cable. So they aren't interchangeable.

I compared an XT, XTR and X.0 the X.0 felt cleaner with a shoter throw?

Yes...the SRAM has a more "mechanical" feel and the Zero Loss combined with the adjustable lever position (neither of which are on the Attack shifter) on the XO and X9 make for some very quick shifts...as long as you use a SRAM rear derailleur.

That's what I ended up doing XO shifters with X9 rear.

I like the Shimano option of thumb/thumb or thumb/ finger shifting.
But actually, I like gripshift the best!
