Which cassette?

Contemplating this idea but wanted more opinion and knowledge on this.
I am fairly busy most of the time and when I do have time to go for a ride, I thoroughly enjoy it. However, the dilemma is changing the tyres over from mountain bike tyres for the weekend and road tyres for during the week. I don't want to waste riding time changing tyres over. So, having said that, Is it a good idea to look for some relatively cheap wheels, so I only have to physically change the wheel over each time, which takes less time.
I already have spare inner-tubes and tyres to put onto a new rim and this saves some money already. The only thing I don't have is a new cassette. I have looked on Chain Reaction at cassettes, and considering that my current bike uses uses SRAM and a PC850 chain, if I do go ahead with the idea of new rims, which cassette should I go for?

Any really, they are all about the same, though I'd prefer Shimano:

However changing wheels can be more hassle than changing the tyres ie readjust brakes and gears may be needed.0 -

Very true! Never thought about having to adjust brakes/gears etc.
Both the front and rear derailleur are SRAM - will having a Shimano cassette upset the dynamics of it? Or, are they compatible?0 -
Completely compatible, if anything the Shimano will work better.0
