Blackouts - Bridge ground to be or not to be?

[mordavia]

I have wired my blackouts using the supplied diagram in the box and it doesn't have a bridge ground indicated, however i visited the seymour duncan website and on the wiring diagram pdf file they have a ground to the bridge?? What's up with that?

I know that EMG's don't use a bridge ground and the seymour duncan tech that i emailed said that they recommend using a ground wire to the bridge on all active systems.... suggestions???

all actives do not need to be bridge grounded
thay all have a internal ground and it is recomended to NOT use the bridge ground like with passives for buzz/hum and shock reasons

I did not gound the bridge on my Blackout equipped Jackson. No issues.
