Best MM?

I want to try a MM with my Herron VTPH-2a. What's the best one? Maestro 2, Zephyr III, AT VM760SLC? Something else?

You get to use/check out different gain and other settings on your phono-pre than your MC. And it is a nice sounding MM “type”, but a moving iron. I used to have a Virtuoso Wood but IMHO the Zephyr is a better tracking and sounding cart.
