Cartridge advice needed

I'm a turntable novice getting back into LP's after a long hiatus. I'm looking for cartridge advice on a Philips 212 belt drive turntable. I have 4 in the closet to choose from right now. Any advice on which to pick? I'm sure I need new stylus on each of them so I'm a little leery of deciding just based on a listening test.

Audio Technica AT450
Audio Technica AT105
Audio Technica 8008
Ortofon VMS3E

Which would you pick?

Just doing some random checking on VinylEngine and it appears the Audio Technica 8008 is the pick of the litter. Good specs and a line contact stylus with a tapered alloy tube cantilever. I'd certainly give that one a go first.
