No love in the GS thread, so thought I'd ask here;

Any thoughts on what the best all-round 9 speed Shimano STI shifters are?

Ideally 3x9 and inexpensive.

Being paired with an XT M751 (SGS Long Cage).

Last of the 9 speed Tigra?

Actually, anything other than last gen 9 speed Tiagra (4500) or Sora, as they have the gear indicators. Also, no 9 speed STIs ever had hidden gear cables, to save you checking [edit: until Sora 3000 - see below]

Just to put it in perspective, this is for a bike I fully anticipate to be stolen.

If I'm honest Im a bit skeptical that there's going to be a huge difference between the last 9 speed DA and the last 9 speed tigra.

For pre-6800 shimano id prefer to have exposed gear cables.
