Depends on what you like.

The best needles hands down are the Shure M447 or 477 (can't remember). A lot of people don't like that style though. They are the carts attached to the turntable headshell.

As far as the best all in one cartridge, Ortofone for sure.

The pink/redish ones are the Ortofons made for scratching.

I know, they are still my favorite and I don't scratch.

I have the Pro Ortofon. They are black with a red circle on them. I have had them for like 2 years and they still work like new. and that is with heavy scratching and back cueing.

ORTOFONS ALL THE WAY

M35X Shure needles, only $50 a piece at guitar center, work fine for me. Check out www.pssl.com.

Shure M44-7

Biggest sound
Lowest cue burn
One of the best tracking needles available

i've always used ortofon concorde with the nightclub needle. But lately i've been trying out the stanton trackmasters and they're not too bad, esp for the price. They're a bit heavier than what I'm used to by once you get used to that its not so bad

I've had bad experiences with Trackmasters. Mostly when you reach the end of a long track as the needle gets really far inside close to the label it will start jumping. It just cannot stay in the groove that far into the record. My Ortofon Concordes have never had that problem.
