I've used the low-normal LX that came with my Sam HIll, pulled by Silver BES.. It was perhaps the most precise rd I've ever used -- when I swapped with an 8-sp era XT I had to learn how to use a "coarser" mech all over again. But I didn't like the reverse pull and traded it for said XT.
I'll be with such a precise rd and, say, Simplex retrofrictions, you could shift 11 speeds in friction!
