High output cartridge for 47db phono stage?

Hi,
This question was probably asked already - but please forgive me.
I am am looking for the cartridge for my pre-amp with 47 db gain phono stage (CJ PV-12). What happens if I put 2.5 mV output cartridge to work (Benz Micro ACE H)? Two weeks ago I would have thought the higher output the better but reading quite a bit of reviews here I can see that this is not always the case. So would it better for the sound if I stick to medium output level then? Say 1-0.8 mV?
Thank you
Anatoliy

Thanks, folks - you helped me in my decision to start with MM having in mind what you and other people say as well as the fact that Conrad Johnson's answer to my same question was that
"The phono section of the PV-12 is best suited to a moving magnet or high output moving coil. The resistive loading of the phono input is 47 kOhms"
Can't wait :)
Best Regards
