Thanks Ed. Are the 'shadow' ones alright as well then?
1x10, with something like a 42 at the front seems like a good option for me, for exploring bridleways and woods and that.
Does anyone have a 9 speed long cage mech knocking about that I can buy off you? eBay prices are stupid for something which I'm sure people have knocking about their parts bins.

I'm not sure, they're noticeably harder to set up than the normal MTB derailleur (on MTB), occasionally I have to put a new cable and housing just so it can shift well.
In theory, the shadow should work considering it does have the same cable pull, my other theory to why the other people who mate the shadow derailleur to road levers may not have anticipated the low tolerance of such derailleur.
I'm sure @mdcc_tester will correct me on this.

This is what I'm running, I spun out a little on 42/11, but better to spun out on the descent than to run out on the climb.

I think the shadow are 10 speed no?
I'm running on 1x10 with tiagra shifter / m751 9 speed long cage / tiagra 12-30 / m751 octalink crank.
I think the long cage rd made it easy for the chain to drop.
I may have to change for narrow wide chainring, but not much choice larger than 38 for mountain crank.Will changing to short / medium cage rd make it better?

Any normal 9 speed MTB derailleur will work, make sure you select the long cage option of the M771.
I recently went 1x11, actually great for cities, just waiting for the SRAM 11-36 to try with the 5800 derailleur.
