Would a DA 8-speed STI rear shifter be compatable with an Ultegra 600

It's compatible with any 8-speed cassette, but not designed to work with anything but a 1996 or earlier Dura-Ace rear derailer. However, there's an alternate cable routing trick that will let it work with most Shimano derailers, see: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/dura-ace.html#alternate It's not clear why you're asking. If you already own these brifters, might as well go ahead and use them. However, if you're considering buying them, I'd advise against it unless they're VERY cheap, you'd be better off with something more modern, even from a much less prestigious model line, like Sora, my favorite Shimano brifters.
