I'm very happy with my Sunrace rd. It suits my kind of bike - functional, tough and cheap and (I think) good-looking.
When did my taste in rear derailleurs get so 'niche'?

Dunno,one of my bikes came with a 7 speeed SRAM that's very basic and has been used on several project builds over the years to check out the bike before being replaced with a 'posher' Deore if the bike works out OK (a couple ain't been good) Still hanging up in my shed along with various other components although I used a bunch up building my Raleigh 'City' 3speed

Were there that many options in the 9-speed era, other than SRAm, Campag and Shimano?

Let's face it, that is basically a Shimano rip-off. Take the branding off and you'd be hard pushed not to i.d as 90s/00s Shimano.

Shimano had 2 different ones, the original 9 speed 'Dura - Ace' and the later more common Ultegra/105 etc. (different cassette spacing)

Campag had two as well. Different pull ratios.

It was only 7400 Series 8 speed dura Ace that had it's own pull ratio, only compatible with it's shifters. 9 speed etc were OK.

Partly right but there was a 9 speed that used the same spacing, I've got the 7400 bar end shifters and they quote 8/9 speed but only Dura-Ace 9 speed cassette (won't index with lesser 9 speed cassettes- narrower spacing- but will index with standard 8 speed cassettes)
