I need to replace my cassette and am looking for a new (3x)10 speed cassette. Now I'm running a SRAM PG1020 which works fine for me. I have a budget of maximum 60 euro.

I looked on different stores and it looks like I have many options. I tried to find and read comparisons before different cassettes but have barely found any useful info.
This are my options, I made a small chart where the average price of the cassette is also displayed :

Do you guys have any experience with any of these ? What would you recommend me ?

    Any of them will work just fine, if you are sticking to running 3x10 then I'd stick with an 11:36, if you wanted to go to 1x10 then it would be worth getting a wider range one.

    The more expensive ones will tend to be lighter and have a better coating giving improved protection.

    do you get long, short, medium, semi long, and massive derailleurs in MTB world like in the road world .... can one jump from 36 to 42 teeth without checking the derailleur ?

    yeah I'm gonna probably go with 11-36t. Now I have to randomly pick one :D Are these all the same quality and material, or do I 'get what I pay for' ?
