59 or PG split? neck or bridge?

[Zappaso]

I´m about to change my pickups cause I cant split them. I also want to match a 59 with a Pearly gates model. Is there a perfect way to paire them?

I have a PGn and 59B in my Strat,they go well together. I recently replaced the "Big Apple" 5-way switch with a 3-way. I don't care for the sound of any split humbucker, but that's my observation. Plus I like things to be as simple as possible. Make sure if you get a 59 that can be split. I'm looking to replace mine with either a CC or a C5 so if you're interested let me know.

The PG has mismatched coils - if you are up to it, set it up with a three way mini switch so you can go coil 1/ humbucking / coil 2, youll get slightly different sounds I think? Anyone...
