Your budget cartridges will mostly be MM the vast majority of analogue junkies prefer low output mc's but you need a more expensive phono with a mc input or a step up transformer to use a mc in a mm phono section because the signal is lower (low output).
Take your time read the forum threads look at the turntables for sale, Arms, cartridges and you will after a time gain enough knowledge to make a good decision.
For me MC's rule for 349.00 retail you can get a Audio-Technica OC9 low output mc Cartridge that is a super tracker and quiet in the groove. All depends on you budget,
995.00 for a Shelter 501 II Phono Cartridge is a great value as well
