You should get the specs of the tonearm and use the vinylengine calculator to see what mass cartridges are a good match for your arm to yield a resonance in the green section (ideally ~9-12hz). If you are confused by my comment please don't rush on your decision. Read up, bro! Or you could get a great cartridge that's a poor match for you arm.
Somebody mentioned a Denon 103R being a good match w/his PLX1000, if the math works, that's a well known workhorse with great pace, punchy bass and decent performance overall. Some like Zu Audio have modded them by replacing the body with wood or metal and those have a lot of fans. They are in your target price range.
Hana is another brand with a number of models close in price (one should match your arm) and seem to be great values as a newer company trying to build a reputation. Cheers,
