There is no right answer. An original Thorens TD-124 could have been fitted with any number of arms. SME, Ortofon even the Decca.
I sold them back then when that model was a new. In our shop it was sold almost 50/50 split between SME and Ortofon tonearm.
If you want a "Classic" Thorens TD-124 then the original SME is ideal. If you are looking strictly for performance, a later design from SME other high caliber manufacturer would likely provide higher performance.
