Pros: everything

Cons: non

Recommendation: butter shifts like butter bought my x7 setup from wheel world oem for 30 bucks. combined with all x7 setup shifts like a dream. i was talking with a sram rep at a local bike shop who said the only difference in x7 and x9 was that the 9 had 2 metal handles instead of 1. i cant believe shimano is still in business

Pros: Not too heavy. Not too pricey. Strong for what you pay for.

Cons: Different to setup then shimano systems due to the accuation ratio (not really a con, just something you need to learn to do). No matter what I do, I can get this derailleur to shift flawlessly on 8 out of 9 gears. There's always one trouble maker.

Recommendation: Good derailleur for the price, but the X9, X0 and XX derailleurs are in another league.

Pros: sram

Cons: Plastic cage/swing arm thing.

Recommendation: A decent derailleur, but it pales in comparison with the X-9. For not very much more you can land a far, far superior derailleur! I destroyed this in very little time at all. But derailleurs are susceptible to frequent annihilation anyways.
