All depends on what your looking for. If it was my choice, out of those 3, I’d get the Super Deluxe and put a meg neg on it from the outset (but you could always do that later too).
I’ve got the ReAktiv Deluxe RT3 Debonair with Thrushaft. Came on the Rail 9 as standard. Not impressed if I’m honest. Just about to change to Ohlins TTX22 coil. Will have to get correct mount hardware as coming from a Thrushaft shock but apparently they play really nice with this bike!!! ?
 
Can confirm Ohlins ttx 22 fits on a large frame with correct mount hardware. Thx TF Tuned! ??

Out from those three I would do the same. Super Deluxe with megneg. Or then coil.
 
It's not the eye to eye or stroke measurements that are the problem, it's the reservoir hitting the downtube.
 
That new DHX2 might also have enough clearance to use 65mm stroke length. I do think older has enough clearance only for 60mm which I have.

Yep,that’s right man. Trimmed travel by using a bigger bumper

Plenty of clearance, just waiting for a spring now.

Nice! A local NZ suspension place wants $200 just for the mounts to fit an eye to eye shock as the 9 has the reactiv trunnion shock, the 7 already has those mounts?

TF tuned in UK will supply for about £40 including through bolt. It’s gotta be cheaper to get them shipped?

Got finally the mounting hw for my coil shock. Two alternatives to install DHX2, either use 10 x 40 and 10 x 54 Fox mounting kits or press 12,7mm du bushings and use the stock shocks mounting hw. Both will work.View attachment 24335

Did you need 12.7 mm mounting hardware for the top and bottom of the shock? What size bolt does the stock trek rail use? (m6 m8 m10)
 
I have just tried to fit the dpx2 with the original bushings of the rockshox deluxe and the black bushings were almost 2 mm out of the central pin, which prevented the shock from entering. If I remove the spacer that is in the frame I think it is the right size, but can I leave without the spacers that are in the frame?
 
I have tried a dpx2 with 60mm and have a good space. My frame is a XL. Anyone have tried 65mm ? I am looking for a x2 and ai found one but with 65mm
