I've always favored a 2.5, but from Shure, since their SC35 cartridge can take 
a heavier tracking force. It's also been fine for Diamond Discs and definitely 
for any disc with a warp.

Don't let anybody tell you a 2.5 is only useful for 16" transcriptions!  (Not that this is earth-shattering news to very many people, but I wanted to chime in...)
