Don't forget to use cassette with alu carrier on those hubs, or swap them for steel freehub body.

Why's that?

How does one tell - do cheaper, or more expnsive cassettes tend to be alu?

alu = lighter.

however, the disadvantage is that the cheaper cassette without a carrier bite into it, and can make removal difficult.

Not a problem per se, as you usually need to wack it out or use two cassette removal to twist it out.
