Cartridge recommendation

Hey everyone,
This is my first post and have already learned a great deal from the wealth of information on this site, but still had a question regarding a cartridge. I have a Rega Planar 3 on the way to me as well as a Cambridge 640p phono pre and was wondering if someone could recommend a good cartridge combination for these two. I also have a NAD c315bee on way if that makes a difference. I would like to keep it around 100.00 to 150.00, but would go as high as 200.00 if it made a big enough difference in sound quality. I am kind of a best bang for the buck shopper. I've been looking at the Denon 110 or 160 as well as the comparable options from Grado or AT but wasn't sure what would work well with the 640p as well as the RB300 arm. I appreciate in any advice.
thanks,
Kevin

Dear Photok: These two vintage MM/MI alternatives IMHO are just great either in quality performance and very fair price:

the other is the Azden YM-P50VL ( in NOS condition. ) that you can get/ask to Nick ( the seller ) here: clock3153@hotmail.com

IMHO you can't go wrong with either.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
