5 string Precision P/U size?

hey all, I'm working on building a 5 string with a Pbass pickup in it. I am seeing 2 different sizes. One where they call it the 4 string sizing, and another where one block is larger. Which of these is more common? And what might the difference be?

Also, what are some of your favorites?

Thanks
 
You have a few more choices if you go with the 4 string sizing which is what I did in my PJ 5er - also looks better IMO. I used the Aguilar P and it's a great PU IMO.
 
Thanks! Aguilar is what I was leaning toward for my precision pickup. Mostly because I already have a good relationship with them from my amp rig and the preamp I got from them as well.

I've been eyeing the Nordstrand as well, however.... Hmmmm
