Best Bridge that will not effect my tone?

Im looking at the hip shot A type for the 5 hole mount, and an ABM bridge but I cant decide. Ive heard a few Jazz Basses sound absolutely terrible after a brass bridge install such as a leo quan. I just want a sturdy, quality, bridge for my yamaha that allows for string spacing adjustment and allows me the best intonation possible (not tone but precision tuning). All replys will be appreciated. Thanks

I can attest that the Hipshot Type A bridge is top tier.

I've just ordered a Hipshot A to upgrade a Mexican Fender fretless. Wanted the spacing adjustment. Was advised to order the Fender replacement version:

If you get the aluminum rather than brass version things should sound great.
