Tone Arm Help for a newbie

Hello. I haven't owned a turntable or vinyl in 20 years and would like to get back into the game. Can somebody recommend some good tone arms to purchase that will break the bank? I will likely be using the tone arm with either a Linn LP12 or a Thorens. Thanks for your help.

For a Linn LP12, I'd suggest a used Ittok LVII.

For a Thorens, try an older SME.
