Advice on a replacement for a hotrails in Tele Style guitar

I have in the guitar attached a Vintage rails Neck, and a Hotrails bridge, strat sized. The Guitar is a Godin TC Signature, BAsswood Body, thick maple cap, maple neck with ebony fretboard.

I have a coil-split pull pot. TH enck is perfect for me, the bridge is too hot.

What I'd like.

With the bridge with both coils on, I'd like a reasonable humbucker sound- not too nuch gain, but faily middy, when split I'd idealy like something like a P-90, particularly the P-90 custom on the other Godin I have. The idea being that neck, I can get an acousticy shimmer with the Vintage Rails, Bridge alone I can get a bit of crunch and warmth, Bridge split alone I can get somewhat twangy, and bit more middly single coil, and bridge and neck together I can get a more funky hollow tone.

My question - would a Cool Rails do this for me? A Hot stack? Ultimately, the choice of a full humbucker and adjecent coil split sound to switch between conventional bridge humbucker, and a Bridge P-90 would be the ultimate, but I only know I'd get an approximation.

If you had to take a stab in the dark, which SD pickup would so this best for me?

I'd hope the volume of the bridge with both coils would be a bit hotter than the neck alone, and with it split it would be a similar output. With both together I'd like to have the strat position 4 sound when the bridge pickup is split.

Any help/wild and crazy suggestions welcomed
