Recommend me a cassette

[cyfa2809]

im looking at road cassettes as i dont use my larger cogs really. i currently have 11-32 setup (8 speed). im going for nine speed, cheap as possible, will need to get a chain to match (be compatible with) it also. real cheap, will look on ebay if i have to, will be used with sram x9 mech and sram x7 shifter. i normally go for sram pg820 cassette and similar chain (used with 36t ring)
advice please

As its a consumable I'd go for whatver you can get cheap off ebay from say Shimano, SRAM or even Sunrace or Miche. Most cassettes are pattern parts based on Shimano and function well enough.

Shimano Saint covers 11-28 so a tad more compact than the usual 9 speed fare.

wont i have to get a brand specific chain then though?
i have been looking at a tiagra one on crc, 12-25 i think it is, but it says super narrow chain, is this a standard for 9 speed chains? i.e. are all 9 speed chains super narrow?
