I don't mean to be......... (can't stop over explainin').....The two cartridges on your list I have experience are the Shure and the Stanton... The Stanton has a good reputation, especially as a DJ cartridge. Sturdy and forgiving of set up errors (spherical styli are not always as finicky) it probably would be a good choice for a starting point, especially with rock. If you don't have alignment tools (protractor, over hang gauge stylus tracking scale...etc.), there are downloads out there, and probably good vids. There are numerous new cartridges available in the $100 and under. A good hi-fi/ audio store should be able to help, even with installation if you need or want. Enjoy!
