First turntable advice

I've always just used digital but would like to start playing vinyl although I expect to keep primary focus with digital. Since I really know nothing about turntables I want something novice friendly that will sound decent with my system. Generally I prefer used but don.t know if that is practical.
System details:
Marsh 400 amp, audio research ls26 preamp, MIT shotgun cables, proac d38 speakers,simaudio 3.3 cd

I added a turntable to my system after about 20 years of not having one. I had first picked up a used Denon direct drive off of eBay, which lasted about a year before the motor died. I purchased a Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable, Musical Fidelity V-LPS phono stage, and the acrylic platter upgrade. All in, the cost was about $650 all new. It is a nice piece of gear, the included cartridge sounds good, the purchase was a smart one. The only thing I miss from my turntables growing up are the auto start and auto return features. Other than that, it will serve you well.
