Technics 1200G phono recommendations

I plan to purchase a Technics 1200G turntable. Need recommendations for a phono stage. Budget under under 3k, used ok. I do not want to exceed the quality of the turntable, if that makes sense. Would also appreciate recommendations on Ortofon cartridge to match the level of TT. 
Will pair it with Mastersound 845 tube amp and Diapason adamantes III speakers. 

How much difference  does a tube phono make? Is it safe to assume that SS phono will be just as good as tube phono? I'd like to have a totally analog system, including a tube phono, but not sure how much SS phono will take away from analog sound.

Ortofon Cadenza Bronze or Black.  Both are excellent with the stock Technics SL-1200G.

I don't have any experience with the Hagerman Trumpet MC, but I'm considering ordering it because of what I've read about the brand and owner, and the multiple mentions here.  The Gold Note PH-10 w/the PSU-10 is a great recommendation.  I would also mention the Musical Surroundings Nova III with LPS.
