The ultimate gizmo looking bridge is a Babicz. Hipshot Has some cool bridges too. Both are great at their jobs and look cool. Google them.

What features do you want?
If you want something very sturdy and well crafted:
ABM, Hipshot, Schaller, Gotoh
I love all of those!

For me it's the bridge I carved from a stick of maple for one of my DIYs.

It's my wrap around design with strings anchored on the back.

I'm a personal fan of the Warwick 2 piece bridges, but don't know if you can buy them a la carte.
