Planning on playing 78 RPM shellacs

I'm looking to have a setup dedicated for some 78 RPM shellacs I have. I was thinking on buying the Ortofon 2M 78, but I was discouraged looking at the prices they fetch.

I currently have these two carts (Shure M44E and Pickering V-15/AT-2) with no current use that I plan to repurpose for that matter. Which option would be the best and what needle should I choose? Anyone has experience with either one for that specific use? I'll listen.

I was listening to song on my personal playlists and all of the sudden an Suno generated song came on, as I would never save any song of such poor quality and recognize AI songs pretty well . Decided to check the artist and the song has 4 millions plays and barely any listeners (it was 200 monthly listeners before) and the YouTube upload had 1k views while being too recent, so something doesn't add on.

What I believe it happened is someone is abusing the track linking function and replaced the original. So, please I need to find the original song that was here. Rules don't allow me to post the link, but you can search it with the info provided in the screenshot. Thanks.
