CS-HG50-9

Could I use any 9 speed cassette to match Shimano CS-HG50-9 12-25
I have on one of the rear wheels or do I need to buy specifically this
model?

Thanks

Any 9-speed Shimano cassette will do just fine.

Not just Shimano, but any 9 speed Shimano compatible will do. SRAM,
BBB and others make some decent ones (though personally I'd stick with
Shimano as the indexing seems smoother)

that CS-HG50-9 is roughly equivalent to what in the road group: 105,
ultegra, smth else?
I noticed the shifting on my current bike is noticeably smoother than
on a 105/tiagra
bike I had before. Is that mostly due to the
1. shifters
2. rear derailleur (this one has ultegra)
3. casette
4. cables
combination of the above???

I dare not to think how dura ace shifts (drooling)

Chainstay length can be a major factor in shifting performance. Bikes with longer chainstays shift much better.

HG50 box is labeled Tiagra for road sizes, Deore for mountain sizes.
Higher level cassettes have model numbers that match their groups.

More expensive cassettes won't necesarily shift better, they will be lighter.

My bike has 92 cm chainstays.
