One of those deda fang things and a bashguard if you're worried, or a cheap keeper from Superstarcomponents. Either way, you can just add one later if the need presents itself.
One thing to remember is that a 1x9 set-up only requires a short cage rear mech. Which will be stiffer than a long cage, and likely give better shifting.
