I feel like some of these algorithms are outdated, i.e. rarely used anymore: C4.5, Apriori, CART.

Instead I would suggest: Logistic Regression, RandomForest and Neural Networks.

CART forms the basis of the decision trees used by scikit-learn's implementation of random forests [1]. CART may be old, but definitely not outdated.
