I found this article which reviews the mountain bike cassettes:
Shimano XTR CS-M960
Shimano XT CS-M760
Sram PG990 (either red alloy or prior model)Sram PG980
Sram PG970
Sram PG950
The problem is that certain mountain bike cassettes get stuck on the freehub because they have a poorly designed spider section (where the cassette contacts the freehub body). This article attempts to review the various readily available cassettes and recommends the Shimano XTR as the best cassette with the Shimano XT cassette second. Cassettes without a properly designed spider can get stuck on a freehub and may totally destroy it in the long term.
