Carts for Audio Technica AT1010 tonearm?

I lucked into a NOS/NIB AT 1010 tonearm, which was supposedly designed by Audio Technica and manufactured by Audiocraft (hat tip to Raul for the info!)

Can the people who have experience with this arm recommend suitable cartridges (mono/stereo/mm-mi or lomc) to mate with the arm? I'd much appreciate it!

Basic specs:

Effective length: 240mm
Overhang: 15mm
Mounting distance: 225mm
Effective mass: 16g

I'm looking at an AT-1010 at a good price right now. It has been suggested elsewhere that low compliance cartridges suit it best. It would replace a Sumiko MMT, which has an effective mass about the same as the AT-1010. I am running MM and MC cartridges that weigh between 4.8 and 6 g with compliance between 9 and 22 10-6m/N@10hz. The 3 must-haves are a Denon DL-301, Hana SL, and Shure V15 V.

Would the AT-1010 work and outperform the Sumiko?
