Cassette advice

More noob questions
What is the difference and compatibility between cassettes
I've just ordered a new chain and thought that I have a look at cassettes as well
Written on my existing cassette is Shimano cs hg 200 - 9 , will any Shimano 9spd cassette of the correct range fit?

Wiggle have an hg 50 for £9.99 or an hg80 for £19.27 what are the differences between the two and my existing cassette
And I assume that a non Shimano cassette isn't compatible?

Apologies if these are stupid questions

Yes, any Shimano cassette with the same number of sprockets and the same range will fit. SRAM cassettes are also Shimano compatible as are Sunrace.

HG50 will do the job fine. More expensive versions are usually lighter and may last longer depending on the materials and construction techniques.
