Both are great wheels. The s9 is more speedboardable. They will last longer too. I have the 77a drifters on my revenger and have been having lots of fun. amazing for drifts. But i rotate them after every sesh due to the fast coning. Im kinda a lazy ass so i get over doing that so much. But im bout to go buy 2 sets today, and i have a bunch of s9s allready. ahhaha

I agree big time with the drfters begin to show signs of wear the first time out. Its a nice fast slidy wheel but the s9 will just outlast the drifter with about the same performance qualities.

Id trust going faster on the s9. im on like my 5th sesh on the drifters and over 40 i can feel they are a little lopsided allready and cause my board to shake. but still a great wheel

i haven't ridden the s9's very much, but they seem like more of an all around wheel while the drifters are pure sliding fun. i've bombed hills and gripped corners on my 83a drifters though. if you plan on doing a lot of sliding i would go for the drifters, even though they will probably wear faster the drift and low price are worth it.
