I have listened to several of your choices within the last year and the dynavector 10x4 is clearly the most musical. Very forgiving of surface noise as well.
FYI, I had an AT 440 ML for the longest time and recommend it as well. Not in the same class at the 10x4, but it's less than 1/3 of the price... Fantastic starter cartridge.
