Summary: 

The station I used to work for Used turntables driven by a fairly large
synchronous hysteresis motor and an idler wheel.  They were reasonably
quiet, started quickly, and had plenty of torque for slipping.

I haven't seen any direct drive turntables with anywhere near the
torque that is needed for broadcast disk jockey use.

However, it seems to me that there isn't too much audible difference in
turntables once you get past $150 or so until you get the Nak with the
automatic centering.  But for that price you can get a CD player and CD
replacements for the off center LP's, unless you really do enjoy
Stowkowski.
