Don't buy a Ti cassette! Very big bucks and wears quickly.
Regarding larger cassettes. Yes, they do shift slower but unless you are engaged in competition, the difference is very small. Buy the cassette/d?railleur combo that will suit you best during a worst case scenario. You may not use the largest cog often, but when you need it, it's there! Having the correct gears for the terrain you are riding in makes your trip that much more pleasurable.
