Read the article linked.You should not assume that Lofgren A is somehow " correct" in an absolute sense particularly when average disc cutting maximum and minimum radii have changed over the years e.g with DMM. It is ultimately a subjective choice and Baerwald (OK, Lofgeren revised) or Stevenson or other alignments are equally valid.
The correct answer to your question is " which alignment sounds best to you" in practice with the arm in question? If none of them fulfill this criterion then your pursuit is redundant. If one of them does then you need look no further.
As has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread other distortion mechanisms exist for vinyl replay which cloud the whole picture of audible alignment errors irrespective of any calculated values which tend towards theoretic significance only in practice.
