Cartridge choice? Ortofon or Goldring

I recently purchased a Music Hall mmf 5 and I really love this turntable. Right now I am using it with a Ortofon Super OM10 because it was broken in and I didn't want to wait for the Goldring to losen up. Thinking of upgrading to a OM30 stylus or should I go with the Goldring 1012GX? The only reseverations I have about the Goldring is that the edge of stylus holder seems to ride a bit too close to the record. I am using an Old Marantz 2252B that's in really nice shape as an amplifier. For speakers I am using a pair Cerwin Vega LS 10s. I mostly play rock from the 70s and 80s on vinyl that is either mint or in excellent condition. What do you think? Does anybod know where I can find some reviews on the Ortofon cartridges?

While we are on the subject of Ortofon cartridges can anybody recommend a good stylus cleaner? I was using Groovy stylus cleaner until I found out it had alcohol in it; which Ortofon does not recommend. Any suggestions?

Finally, thanks for the advice! R&D (or trial and error) can be a bit tedious and costly.
