Which MC to use

I have a choice of several MC cartridges that I can use in my ET2 arm which sits on an older VPI TNT and would appreciate comments. My step up is a BAT VK P5 and I am driving Dali Diva Grand speakers with a NAD T175 / T763.

I am currently using a Monster Cable Genesis 1000.

I also have a Denon DL103D, Madrigal Carnegie One, and a Shinon Red. Would any of these be an improvement over the Genesis?

I use a Denon Dl-S1 (7 grams) with my ET2 arm no problem, I have used the Carnegie One for years (it is an old cartridge).
The ET2 lists cartrides from 7 to 15 grams. I would stay at 7 to 12 grams. they list it's complinace is from 7 to 20.
The heavery the catridge the more weights, you will have to put on. They recommened that the weigh stay between the 3 and the 6 on bar scale for best rsults.
