The reason for low output moving coils is that the coils are very light and have very low mass -- therefore, their transient response is faster than higher output moving coils that use heavier, more massive wire coils. Of course this will only be noticeable if your system is fast enough and resolving enough to show the differences.
For the best performance you should buy the lowest output moving coil cartridge that your phono stage can handle without becoming noisy. Some of the most prized moving coils are those with minimal coil mass and the lowest output.
