Pickup replacement for US Deluxe Jazz Bass

Has anyone installed single coil pickups into a deluxe jazz bass. I want to get rid of the stock Fender Noiseless pickups. I'm thinking since the bass has a pickup blend knob that I keep either centered or slightly toward the bridge, there won't be much of an issue with hum. I was thinking about going with the Fender Custom Shop 60s or the Seymour Duncan Antiquity II's. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
'60s are nice. And I've heard that the Antiquities can be inconsistent due to there not being a set winding value. Still they get positive reviews.

I believe the '60s are made to sound like a new bass would have sounded back then. And the Antiquities are made to sound like a 40-50 year old vintage pickup that's aged.
