Overall carts?

I'm looking to buy some new carts to replace my trackmasters...just no good.
I like to attempt scratching but house is where my heart is so I'm looking for top-quality sound as well.
I'm looking for a top-of-the-range cart thats good all around.
Low record wear, sticks to groove, very little skippage and high sound quality.
The first few came to mind were:
Shure m44-7/G
Ortofon Scratch, concorde DJ S
Stanton 890SA (can get good deal with FS pack that includes eliptical stylus)

And possibly the whitelabels, but I've never tried em out.
What are you're experiences? Any of you guys in the same boat? What do you use/recommend?

Hmm...

If your looking for low wear carts.... certainly dont buy Shure M44-7s or any unskippable needle at that. Basically those are used for vigorous scratching where the needle would normally jump grooves. I mean, I'm not an "expert" at carts but I wouldnt use those for normal mixing. I'm usually pretty happy w/ the Stanton 890SA's....then i use Shure SC35's for scratching, etc.

....but now that i'm actually looking at the carts it does say the M44-7's are good for ultra high output (I guess just keep it easy on the weight?)... hey, whatever floats ya boat

Laterz,

At the site for the shure's it says record wear "very low".
Hrmmmm... I'll get to a conclusion soon.
