Help me decide hot tele neck pickup

[jake_xms3_punk]

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of doing up an old beat up, covered in stickers, Frankenstein squier telecaster. at the moment it has a Duncan distortion (with reg sized A5 mag) in the bridge with no neck pickup.
the neck is routed for a standard tele sized neck single coil.
I want this to be a high output beater guitar so I'm torn between adding a hot rails, hot for tele or a QP for the neck position, or just to keep it a one pickup monster. What do you guys think? This will be used for distortion predominantly but cleans in the neck position would be a bonus, but not at the expense of a great distorted tone, so distortion comes first.

HR for Telecaster.

Can you be more specific about the tones you're looking for from a neck pickup? My fear would be that most Tele neck pickups won't be able to keep up, from an output perspective, with a Duncan Distortion model. Funk is right that the HR Tele neck model might work where output is concerned; but it won't give you Tele tone.

Oh sorry, no I'm not after a traditional tele tone at all, just after something that would keep up with the DD5 and give me a pure distortion axe in both bridge and neck positions.

Then I would go with the HR for Tele neck model.
