What is the best arm for a VPI Aries 2 and Benz L2

I have been very pleased with my L2 in a Moerch DP6 with 12" red wand. The sound improved steadily as the L2 broke in. I can't say when the improvements stopped, but it was probably in the 75-90 hour range (it now has slightly over 100 hours).

I also have a JMW 10 which I haven't tried yet with the L2, but the VPI arm worked extremely well with a Glider M2. I preferred the Moerch with the Glider, but the VPI arm has a smooth, rich, dynamic sound that is certainly a viable alternative.

I have owned VPI TNT and Scout turntables with the JMW arms. They sounded good once the arm settled down (about track 2). Those arms jiggle too much for me. What's the point of carefully setting up an arm and cartridge and getting a perfect azimuth only to have the entire arm assembly rocking from side to side after being cued onto the record. Thank you for your input Salectric.

Gfloyd53, I suspect your experience was with the JMW 9, which I understand can flop around a bit. But the JMW 10 and 12 have a heavy collar that effectively hangs below the pivot and keeps the arm pretty stable. I have never noticed the arm wiggling around when the stylus is lowered into the grooves.

I have the JMW 10.5 that came with it and am very happy with it. I used to have a HW19 with an SME IV that while good, is no comparison to the 10.5 in terms of silence on interbands. Plus it is very compatible with the Koetsu Urushi. I'm convinced that Harry's tables sound best with his tonearms.

I have a super scoutmaster, with the jmw-9, and i've never seen my arm wiggle once it's lowered into the grooves of the lp, i don't know what you referring to, it will wiggle when it resting on the arm rest, but once it's lowered, it's solid in the grooves, and sounds great.
