The Shure M44 isn't fashionable but it had a vast array of styli and it is well supported by the aftermarket.

Here's the low cost option - but do remember that mono LPs in good condition can sound fantastic with a good elliptical or line-contact stereo stylus.

The 1mil stylus is better for worn records - and the N44-1 has a very big sound like the M44-7 used by DJs.
