The MRP 1.x:

or the new e.thirteen XCX:

?
I am thinking the e.thirteen, even though the backplate sticks up over the guide for a 32t setup.
MRP - the e13 looks home made
+1 for the Mrp
MRP looks so much better.

Mrp, but tippex out the naff logo 😛
Or a DMR chaincage thingy that does the same.
either so long as you put the chainring on the outer position and sod the chainline. Its all about the aesthetics! 😉
MRP - i really like the look of it
are thse actually needed for a 1x9 cross country hardtail?
just curious because thats my next project
MRP for me too.
I think you do need a guide really for 1x9 unless you are only riding really mellow stuff.

I'm using a mech with the limit screws maxed out at the moment, but it is very sensitive to orientation etc.

I used mine for a while without one with no real issues. I put a Pauls Components Chain Keeper on just to be sure though. Looks alot tidier imo than the chain guides above, but I'd have the MRP out of the 2 in the OP.
Should you not be asking which one works better?
No sorry my mistake we're on STW aren't we. 😉
MRP one looks lots better.
I tried to run mine 1x9 and got very bored of the chain falling off at every opportunity
