I think most good cartridges work well with TCV... as long as you set up your tonearm and cartridge correctly.
I personally use Ortofon DJ S, and they work very well. I also play standard vinyl and thus I go for these over the Ortofon Scratch ones as they sound better. If you are only using TCV then I would go for some scratch ones as they have better tracking. That said: The TCV's have very deep grooves and the software also prevents skipping so it has never been a problem for me (even when scratching really fast/hard).
Stanton also have some cartridges made for final scratch, they are probably good as well.
One more thing: Go for spherical stylus' and not eliptical, as they wear out your records much faster.

I use stanton 500 AL's...one thing to realize that if you're only playing TCV then sound quality is a non-issue for the cartridge as it's only playing data. You want one's that have a good rep. for tracking during scratching but you don't need to care about sound quality at all.
