If you're looking for one all purpose 9' blank, you can't do better than the SW 1088. The only thing I think I'd like better is a 10' Lami 120 1L with a foot chopped from the butt--but you'd have to accept not having a warranty on the blank.
As a general rule, the SW Rainshadows are a little more parabolic than the SU series. They're pretty close to the original Sabres--in fact, the 8'10" Made in USA versions were built in the same factory as the old Sabres, and probably on the same mandrels. The SU series is a little faster action. They're modeled after All Star blanks. People who've used both All Stars and SU Rainshadows seem to say that the Rainshadow has a softer feel to it, at least with respect to the 1209
