which TT?

I had one of those plastic fantastic PL-570's. It is, as described above, pure BPC, and is to be avoided.
 
I got a Technics SL-QD33 for $20 in near-mint condition at an estate sale years ago. The sound quality is OK, but it has proved to be very low- maintenance - all of the other turntables I've messed with have arrived in need of work, and the SL-QD33 is the one that keeps playing records while I'm working on the nicer ones.

I don't have any experience with the others on the list, but given your choices I would probably try the Sony with its 1/2" cartridge mount, since you'll have a lot more options than with a P-mount like the SL-QD33.

The QL5 may need to be regreased. Other than that, it should be plug n play. The Technics close 'n play tables aren't nearly as complex or finicky as a PL-L1000.

My SL5 needed a tonearm drive belt and the guide rod cleaned and re-lubed. Very simple machine to work on.
