Phonostage pairing?


Can anyone here give a poor fellow fresh off the flat-earth bus any advice about phono preamp / cartridge pairing?
I am undecided over the choice of cartridge to pair with my forthcoming Kuzma Stabi Reference/Airline front end(Koetsu Jade/Clearaudio Goldfinger/Benz) with Gryphon Diablo integrated and ProAc D38 speakers.
The real problem however is that I am being pointed in a thousand different directions by (mis?)guided salesmen regarding suitable phonostages...
Is there a rule of thumb about correct pairing?
I am considering the Whest Audio 2.0
Many thanks

I strongly recommend the Whest because firstly, the phonostage is something really special. I use it with an Allaerts MC1B feeding a Naim double HiCapped NAC282 and a NAP250 with Living Voice OBX-R2 Speakers. Arm is a Graham 1.5t/c and TT is of my own design

And, James is a great person to work with.
