Nordy Big Singles, Splits, Fat Stacks, Dual Coils?

I've recently taken delivery of a Warmoth 5 string body and neck from ebay.

You can read about it and see photos on my post over at reranch:

The pickup routes are wonky, so I'd like to drop in something a bit larger to give me the opportunity to clean them up.

I love the idea of one of the Nordstrand soapbars but am sort of lost between all the models. Sure, I understand how they're CONSTRUCTED differently, but how do they sound?

I think this is all going to be paired with an Audere plate, so what are the differences between the four types in terms of sound?

The Dual Coils are $110 more per set than the big singles, that's a significant increase if they're not markedly... different/better/more flexible.

I like the idea of something hum canceling, so the fat stack and the split look like good "single coil" solutions. The DC is coil splittable giving single and double.

Anyone have experience with more than one of these?

I put Big Splits into my MTD KZ5. Don't have any experience with the other Nordy pups, though.

FWIW, I like them very much. Less edgy than single coil, but enough to work with. I'm running it into a GK 210 combo, and I've got all I need of every freq band.
