Quest shifters

I'm not a great fan of twist shifters.  They seem to lack the precise  
shifting of the Dura Ace barcons that I've used on USS trikes for  
years but barcons don't seem suitable for use on the Quest's 'T'  
handlebar. Worse, the twist shifters are almost useless with wet/ 
sweaty hands - ok, wearing gloves or wrapping them in a hanky helps  
but I'l thinking of swapping them out.

Any suggestions for a suitable alternative? I was considering a pair  
of Deore RapidFire-type two lever shifters but I guess a pair of 'old  
fashioned' thumbshifters might be worth a try if anyone still makes  
them in 9sp.

Any suggestions from anyone who has tried alternatives to twist  
shifters on a 'T'-style bar?
