    Any Shimano 9-speed rear derailleur. Probably 105 or Ultegra.

    Any deraileur really (105, ultegra, DA -8,9 or 10 spd), the indexing is more specific to the casette and shifter combo. For Campag & Shimano combos see link below.
    "The clicks are in the shifter and that is the thing that determines the number of speeds, by pulling or releasing a certain amount of cable (and of course it has a corresponding number of clicks). The mech provides a conversion or shift ratio that is the same, road and mountain alike and regardless of how many speeds it says on the box. All that really indicates is how precisely the mech is constructed. More speeds means a closer pitch and that demands more precision to avoid the chain rattling against the next sprocket. So the difference is mostly just a matter of shifting accuracy and a 9-speed mech can be used in a 7-speed system."

    From here.
