phono stage for Rega Apheta 2

As above I am looking to pick appropriate phono stage for Rega RP8 with Apheta 2 cartridge.  I have it narrowed down to Zesto Andros 1.2, Manley Chinook, or maybe Rega IOS reference.  Though the last one apparently is not made anymore and really not information around (maybe it was not a big hit??).  Which of these do you think is most appropriate?  Rest of system is Prima Luna Integrated with Totem Sttaf speakers.

thanks for the help so far.  I did have a question about the gain.  One of the reviews I came across about the Chinook cautioned that the gain was a little lower than other phono stages so careful matching to the cartridge was in order.  And if I understand it the Apheta 2 is a low output MC so that might be an issue.  I am ignorant on these issues so please forgive that but can anyone say that is an issue?
thanks in advance.
