Good cartridge for unipivot arm?

I just purchased a Sonus (Mayware) Formula IV arm and am trying to figure out what cart(s) would perform the best with it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

The Grado wood carts were one that was recomended and I tried one. I am very happy with the sound of that cart on the Sonus tone arm.
