For a while I used the Dynavector 10x5 with a PS Audio GCPH. That combo can be had for $1k, if you buy the phono stage used, and the cartridge new.
I think MC is the way to go. I am not an expert, but I seem to think investing in a MM setup is limiting yourself.
if you go with a setup like this, it gives you the flexibility to upgrade phono stages at some point, and stick with the MC Dynavector.
good luck!
