Dear Gandme: Very good analog rig " just to begin " with the analog adventure.
There are several alternatives including the ones you and other well regarded Agoner's already name it.
Being your first analog experience maybe is better that you can go to the MM/MI alternative that IMHO it is at least at the same LOMC performance level with some advantages that you will know over the time. Withs that tonearm I can recommend:
Nagaoka MP-50 and B6O MMC2 that you can find in NOS status here:

or the Audio Technica AT-24:

IMHO all of these cartridges can fullfill your quality performance targets.
Even are so " inexpensive " that maybe you prefer/can buy all!.
Regards and enjoy the music,
