Dyna 20XL and Shelter 501 II - fixed load ?

I have a Linto phono stage which has a fixed load impedance of 150 ohms. Which cartridge do you think would mate better with this loading?

Thanks for the help.

The 501 II has a recommended load impedance of 100 ohms. The Shelter looks like the closer match, but truth would be in the listening.

I believe it was designed for low output moving coils only. Thanks Mofimadness - I've been leading towards the Shelter.
