Cartridges, like speakers, are transducers and highly subjective. And the two most difficult components to recommend. Just as you have probably been advised to auditions speakers, the same goes for cartridges. We all perceive them differently.
If you cannot audition TT/Cartridges packages and must rely on a general consensus from users on the internet, I agree with the above that Grados, Denons and Shures are probably the opposite of the AT-440MLB.
Noticed that no one mentioned Ortofon yet - most of their better cartridges go right down the middle.
Finally there is a question of compliance in properly matching a cartridge to a tonearm. Premounted TT/Cartridge packages are good because the manufacturers have looked at selecting cartridges for their tonearms that result in the proper resonant frequency of the combination.
