What are the industry standards for road bike components?

It seems that there is a large community of roadies online (bikeforums, roadbikereview). Just for fun, I was wondering what the majority of people choose brand-wise for their bike builds, from online reviews, etc. (no personal bias)

From what I've seen:
Giro helmets
Specialized/Fizik saddles
Cinelli bar tape
Velo rim tape
Continental Gatorskin tires
Zipp wheelsets
Thomson seatpost

More suggestions? Opposing views? I'm building a bike for next summer, so it'll be nice to know what to watch out for.
