I've heard of people having issues with Shimano Ultegra 11sp to be exact but I'm running Sram 10spd with no issues.
That's because its hard to get Sram on par with Shimano or Campy no matter what you do!
I kid, but I think with Sram its less of an issue because of the generally high cable tension and pull ratio of the shifters. With Super Record I found that it wasn't as bad as it was with Shimano, but the rear wasn't quite as crisp as with Campy cables.
My biggest complaint with the non-fully sealed systems is that the liners invariably get shit in them and lose performance over time in wet weather. I don't have the same issue with normal cables with either Shimano or Campy. It seems that only Sram sponsored riders run segmented housing in the Pro Peloton so there is probably a good chance that they just work better with that brand.
