I went for a SunRace 11-40 cassette. Haven't tried it yet. Bought it for the gears, not for the weight though.
On of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNRACE-M680-8- ... Sw8FtZfWFs

Oh, one more thing, you might need a roadlink or similar to make this work.

Best 8 sp cassette, but not necessarily cost effective, m950

falls down a bit on "currently available" too....

That`ll do nicely and I see CRC are doing that cassette/chain bundle for around 20 quid too.I usually swap my nice XTR/XT cassettes over to cheapies for the winter months to save on wear.

Re:

Plus one for the SRAM 850 cassette. I'm running at least four bikes with them. Throw on a 970 chain and it's the business. Cheap, look great, and readily available.

Re:

PG850 or HG51 depending on which cog sizes you need/prefer.
I have the weights somewhere to.

There may well be Ti or more exotic makes, but they work and do the same job and look quite nice.

I have a few of each.
