The only variable that you have to consider, AFAIK, is the nut size. Dimensions are on the official Floyd Rose website.

Keep the original Locking nut, drop in either a Schaller or an Original Floyd (the Gotoh units I´m not sure will fit), and you´re good to go.

Avoid the Floyd Rose PRO (the Lo-Profile version). From what I´ve been understanding at the J/C Forum it doesn´t fit without modifying the cavity, although I´ve never tried it myself (I hate Lo-Pro Trems)

LOL ... the Lo Pro is the most finnicky trem I've ever encountered!

Not quite, Zerb. It´s a good idea to replace the factory Posts and bushings with the Original Floyd parts. The Knife edges on the OFR will last longer and the whole construction becomes a bit more stable
