Tires Marathon 40
Shimano Deore Hollow Tech 44,32,22
Shimano 9 speed cassette 11-34

! want to use eather Salsa Bell Lap, WTB Mountain Drops, or FSA Omega compact bars and bar end shifters. I also want to use a decent, low cost LX or SLX deraillers. Jenson has several, buy
I'm not sure which one I need for my application ( matching cassette, crankset, and bar ends). Thanks in advance for your guidence... I'm 6'0" and weigh 240.
Top Normal Long Cage should take care of all your needs out back. Go with a Tiagra Front for price and function.

I really like my FSA Omega Compact bars... Haven't tried the others you mention so can't say much about those.

Also.. You can get the Deore LX version of that crank all day long on eBay for under $80 delivered at this time with free shipping.
