Best Cartridge for my system, MC or MM ??

Hi, this is my first post.
My set up is:

Mcintosh Mc275
Mcintosh C220
Totem Hawk speakers
Marantz TT15S1 table.

I had a Clear Audio Virtuoso and am considering switching to a Dynavector 10x5.

I was pleased with the sound but was told the Dynavector would be worlds apart.

After seeing mixed reviews on both cartridges, what is your opinion on what would be best suited for my setup?

I listen to all rock, some jazz, some psych, etc..

I would advise for the Ortofon 2m Black for live reproduction.
For about the third price: the JVC Z1S together with the amazing "Grey JICO SAS" suspension-cantilever-stylus.
Do not care about MCs.
Only if you have the will to buy a great step-up & a top quality LOMC.
Only cartridges like the VDH Colibri, Clearaudio Titanium and few others of top $$$ range can go beyond the MM limits!
