Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower

Hello,

I am rebuilding a Garrard 301 and looking for a plinth. I am planning to buy 3-4 tonearms to try. I would like to know which is the best way moving forward.

Is there a difference between mounting a tonearm directly on a solid plinth vs arm board (same vs different materials) vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower. 

Thanks
Nanda

Fantastic input from all the members. Challenging each other but I am learning a lot at the same time. I am still thinking of how to handle this..

I came across Triangleart TT and was impressed by the design and looks.
has completely separate armpods..
it’s a belt drive

What do you all think about the Osiris tonearm? Suspended by a magnet. That great concept..
