Given they are pretty easy to swap over I’d try both and pick whichever sound better. The original Lenco V-blocks were a fairly compliant rubber, about the feel of a hard pencil eraser IIRC. The area I’d worry the most about a Lenco arm is the lateral bearing races, they are pretty crude and open to the elements so likely have considerable stiction by now. Whatever you do I’d only consider low compliance carts with fairly high tracking weights in this arm, AT95E, Shure M44-7, DL103 etc. It is a very high-mass arm.
