Is my stylus dead or something? Everytime when I start to spin one, one of my record plays disorted sound for some minutes and then works quite fine. The deck is playing with normal speed, but virtual dj shows that it plays slowly. Is my stylus dead or something? My styluses are more then 3 years old :D and I have only used them at home.

Stanton 500 are good basic stylus, but are not design really for timecoded vinyl, they've been around for well over 10 years or so, since before timecodes.

I use Stanton Discmaster's v3, very good stylus.
 
What would be better
Ortofon - OM Pro S
or
Stanton - 400.V3

???

I would say this one.

I haven't used either ones, but the stantons ones are really aimed at beginners.
 
You can do searches on this forum for cartridges, the debate has been well documented here. I used 500's for quite a while and they worked totally fine. I switched to Shure M44-7 and to be honest there wasn't much of a noticeable difference between the two. I would try the demo version as suggested and see how they work. You should also check what type of timecode signal you are getting on the troubled deck. You can always switch the cartridges and see how it works to try and locate your issue.
 
I always recommend Ortofon concorde pro. I've used them for 3 years (not always the same -of course) and never really had problems with them.
