Cartridge headshell, what would you choose and why?

Hi Audiogoners,
It is price from $15 to $800. What is the advantage of buying an expensive one? What do you hear?
Thanks,
Calvin

Sold them here on Audiogon. The best headshells for the price I've found are from LP Gear. They have a solid machined aluminum headshell with azimuth adjustment for around $50. Dan

Even the leads are the same! Regards,
