The Audio-Technica ART -9 is a great suggestion. The Ortofon Quintet Black S is another cartridge that punches way above its price point.
read reviews and get a listen if you can which is admittedly hard.
I would never get a cartridge re tipped by anyone but the manufacturer of that cartridge. You would never know what you are getting. I have never had a cartridge re tipped and I have never worn out a stylus probably because another cartridge comes along that I want to try. Eventually you have a bunch of cartridges none of which are worn out. There are always two or three that you like best the others I give away.
Vintage cartridges? I suppose you can rebuild them but technology moves on and I have no desire to go backwards.
