Unless your cassette is totally worn out, I don't think that's what's giving you your troubles. Take Will's advice and check the limits on your R/D.
Gram-counting aside, in a double-blind test with the same derailleur, I really don't think I would feel a difference in shifting between my PG990, 950, an XT, or an XTR cassette.

all cassettes with a spider on the large rings are good. I agree that there is no way to feel a difference with any.
If your chain is skipping it is either your RD, chain, hanger or cable. If you are using shitmano stuff check the cable tension first. Well you should do that with sram too. 95% of the time it is 1 or 2 turns of the barrell adjuster.
Then check alignment of the RD and hanger. If you still have issues check your chain and if there still is a problem after that replace your cable and housing. If you still have a problem after all of those steps you need to hang yourself because you suck at life.

Not a big fan of the new SRAM chains. The older PC-99s were better (IMO).
I'm running a Wipperman Connex stainless chain. They're pricey. They're also one of the best chains I've had.
Be sure to also check your chain for a stiff link. A loose hub or sloppy pivots can also give you shifting problems. Who knows, it might even be that you just need to clean your drivetrain.

I would say that most mid-to-high level(i.e LX, XT and SRAM's equivelants) perform about the same. Then IMO its just a balance of price and weight.

XT has the best strength to dollar ratio for a good DH cassette and WON'T gouge the freehub like XSL_Will already said. Srams are notorious for that. IAC I'd have to agree that it's probably not your problem. When I get complaints of shifting problems that can't be traced I always look FIRST at the chainguide setup - 90% of the time that will be the problem (bad rollers, improper shimming/alignment, chainline issues, etc.). The other 10% is usually der alignment issues.
