MC or MM + SUT?


Hi folks,

Zeroing in on my first deck.  
Having no experience or knowledge about decks, I did my research and asked opinions. 

Was about to go with a used VPI Prime Scout.  
Then I looked at the Technics 1200 G.
 
Pulling the trigger on a last minute find: Open box Rega RP8.

The research has now been focused on a decent phonostage.

Is it better to get a MM/MC or a MM with SUT?

I have a few of each type of cartridge.

Your statement of “I have a few of each type” would lead me to look at the MM/MC phono preamp option.  The premise for that choice would be the multiple MC cartridges and their individual requirements for optimal performance would not necessarily be provided by a single SUT.  Many phono preamps with MC ability provide multiple loading options and possibly multiple amplification settings that would be more versatile in you described situation.
