Best pickup wiring/switching on a Strat?

[Stratosphere]

What do you guys think of some of the wiring possibilities out there...

Would you go "old school" with tone controls on the neck and middle, current Fender style, which is tone controls on the neck and middle/bridge, or would you prefer master tone with a blender pot?

I'm thinking of trying the blender pot arrangement for something different, as I have the current "stock" wiring now. I don't know, it might be nice to try the neck + bridge, or all 3 pickups at the same time.

I like using a superswitch to get these combos:
1.bridge
2.bridge/middle
3.bridge/neck
4.middle/neck
5.neck

1st tone control for neck and 2nd tone for bridge. Position 3 sounds sweet.....middle positition Tele.
I'm sure more folks will chime in with their favorites.

My Strat is wired master volume/master tone.

My Strat is s/s/h but all the pickups are humbucking so I don't have noise or rw/rp issues. I added a series/parallel switch to the JB in the bridge and an on/off switch to the JB so I can combine it with the neck pickup or both the neck and middle pickup.

There are a few nice tone options in that guitar.

@ Robert:

I once found out how to wire this with ONE switch.

I can describe this, if you are interested.
