My 11 speed ultegra 7800 derailleur imploded. Cage destroyed, spring destroyed, hanger bent to hell. What shall I replace it with?
11 speed 105/ultegra/dura-ace? Microsoft?

Just replace it with the same thing?
Make sure to straighten your hanger too
Also, that’s a 6800, not 7800
R8000 Ultegra, they fix the problem with the non-functional b screw in the 6800 generation. Don’t downgrade to 105 there is a performance difference there. The Dura Ace R9100 is only 12 grams lighter and costs $100 more for the same performance as the Ultegra.
Just another Ultegra one is good. Just checking it didn’t explode because someone hamfisted the aftermarket jockey wheel install right
I would stick with Ultegra. Best value/dollar out there, IMO. By chance, did this happen shifting to Large/Large combo? If the aftermarket pulleys are larger diameter (bigger tooth count) and the chain was not lengthened by a link or so, it may have put the derailleur over-capacity enough to flex the lower section of the cage and cause it to catch a spoke…
Dura-achee yo!
Ultegra or 105. Both are fine. This type of thing is so rare I would have thought
Another Ultegra
It is because you changed the lower jockey wheel with bigger
