MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp


I have a MM input available on my Manley Steelhead and wonder that a MM or high out MC cartridge should fit in this input. 
Any recommendation or opinion is appreciated. 
Thanks in Advance.

As @lewm stated above with the wide range of 50 to 65db on the Steelheads MM input you have the option of using a MM, HOMC, and many LOMC (possibly greater than 0.24mV output).  This flexibility is not present in many other phono preamps where the MM input is limited to anywhere from 38db to 48db (only MM or HOMC).  Review the other adjustments available for the MM labeled input (Loading for MC or Capacitance variation for MM) in the manual and compare to the requirements of a cartridge you are considering.
