Hi SGM, All of the plates that you mentioned are compatible with your Superlite 2.0. If you are planning to use brakes, you will have to use the dynafit plate, but if not, the Kreuzspitze is a little bit smaller and lighter and would probably be our recommendation. Any plate will either come with mounting screws, OR, you will just use your current mounting screws. Does that make sense?

Hi Daniel, The Backlands are going to be a little bit lighter and a little bit easier to handle but will get deflected a bit more than the Freebirds. The Freebirds will be damper but a bit more to lug up the hill. The Atomic Backland is a workhorse and is beloved by many!
