Ok, I know, this is a very old discussion. Nevertheless I´m wondering if anyone ever made a comparism of the pickups in questions.
I´ve done that with AT-3LP, AT-33 Mono, Denon DL-102, EMT OFD 15 Mono, Ortofon CG25i, GE RPX Single Play, Triple Play as well as Pierre Clement EB-25 and Fairchild 225-A. And I´ve gamed that out on Audio Technica ATP-12P, Audax KT-16, Livingstone as well as Fairchild 280-A tonearms. Furthermore I´ve pairde those pickups with Fidelity Research FR-64s and Schick 12".
Consequently some of those carts got also a run with a vintage Gray Research 602C Phono EQ.
When asked for a ranking I´d go with:
Fairchild 225-A
Pierre Clement EB-25
now nothing comes for a long time
Ortofon CG25i
EMT OFD 15
GE PRX Single Play
GE RPX Triple Play
again nothing in here for a long time
AT-3LP, AT-33 Mono, Denon DL-102
