When it works, it works well. When it breaks on a steep climb, it sucks...
Pros Smooth and quiet shifting
Cons Durability...I've broken 2 of these cassettes in the last year. Both cassettes broke at the rivets where the 4,5, and 6 cog are fastened to the spider.
Find a gear ratio you like, instal it and ride it until your legs fall off.
Pros Light, shifts great, makes every stock bike feel better (unless they have an XTR stock). If you run a 9 speed drivetrain... you should probably be running this (or the XTR) cassette.
Cons It doesn't come stock on most bikes (it's cheaper for bike co. to instal the SRAM PG970's)
Very smooth shifting, looks super great. Regular maitenance and this things works like its brand new everytime. I upgraded to this rear cassette from a stock one and it hasn't let me down.
Pros Superlight cassette. looks sweet in nickel plated too!
A sweet shifting, good looking, and very lightweight cassette. Lasts longer than Shimano's lower end products but still needs love after the ride to keep it performing like the day you bought it. You can easily find one in the $60 range so it's not going to break the bank either.
Pros Lightweight. Shift great. Replaceable cogs. Offered in two different sprocket ranges.
Cons NOT cheap but you won't be disappointed either.
If these could be like 50 bucks cheaper I would be very happy. As it is I get about 1 season of riding out of one. I am not a maintenance freak though, so maybe if you clean your chain more than me it will last longer.

I overlooked upgrading my cassette far too long. This is much better than the stock SRAM cassette and saved some weight too
Pros
smooth shifting, solid yet lightweight design
