Cartridge Suggestions for a Newbie

Hello. Could somebody suggest some decent cartridges to purchase. I haven't owned vinyl in over 20 years and am trying to set up a source. I'd like something decent, but one that won't put too big of a bite in my pocket book.

The fully upgraded Linn LP12 is nice but way overpriced IMHO. That Bluenote table/arm at 650/BO is a great entry level table and pretty nice looking, too. Brand new Scheu Cello belt drive table with rb250 landed for less than a grand; same bearing as the much more expensive Premier II. The Ariston with the Shelter cartridge and SME arm at 400 is not too shabby, either. Shure V15mxv is a great cartridge especially if you have a relatively low mass arm.
