Re: hum or coil for SOLOs?
Definitely either one - I've been playing rock forever and have always used tele or strat bridge pickups for solos - I love that wiry tone. You can get pretty distorted and fat on a single coil pickup as well.
I like the crunchy singing humbucker sound as well, but everyone seems to think you need a big fat humbucker sound for solos. Not so.

It depends on what tone you want and what you want to do with it. If you have a keyboard player and you want to blend with it, use a humbucker. If you want it to cut through, use a single coil. I've used everything with anything, but for rock & jazz, I prefer humbuckers and for country or clean solos, I like single coils.

yeah, it all depends on how bright you want to be. Single coils have a distinctive sound to them as well, so it really is a matter of taste. You can do almost anything with either type of pup.
