Stanton/Reloop are a better option for scratching but also a more expensive one. But yes, either will work good enough.
One thing is - club dj'ing will be +90% using CDJ's, not turntables (depending on the clubs in your area, where I'm from I haven't seen a set of TT's in a club for a few years). If you want to have a home setup where you can learn to scratch that's ok, but better have a option to easily switch your set to Rekordbox (CDJ's) if you want to do club gigs.
If you want to use software for your mixing (DVS would be the terminology) and you have decided on SeratoDJ you will need a audio interface that's certified for your software. They come either as a standalone interfaces that can be plugged into any mixer (Rane SL or Denon DS interface) or as mixers with integrated interfaces (ones that SeratoDJ supports are ridiculously expensive, there isn't one new under a 1000$ - Mixars Duo, Rane has several models) or even as controllers that can do DVS (Pioneer SX2, SZ, Denon MCX8000, MC7000, MC6000mk2, Akai AMX,...)
Tell us what's your overall budget and we'll help (and by that I mean 20 people will post 20 different setups haha
). I personally would go with best TT I can get (Technics) and then see what I can do with the rest of the money. Cheapest option would then be a second-hand Rane SL1 interface with Serato Scratch Live (SSL) software and a 2ch cheap scratch-friendly mixer (DIF-1s, DJM-707, or Rane 56..). That way you can later change either the interface (for a one that supports SeratoDJ software) or the mixer (or both, for some of the high end models like DJM-S9 or Rane ones that have integrated interfaces, midi controls and support SeratoDJ).
