Notch positions in HHH rails setup

So I'm changing my HSH to HHH. I have a Schaller Megaswitch S and 1 dpdt. I'm sticking with that. Right now it's set up to split only the neck and bridge with the dpdt. It is also set up to split the neck, bridge in the notch positions.

I could just put the new middle humbucker in with the current wiring. This would mean the notch positions would have the full middle humbucker, plus the split coil from the bridge or neck.

I'm wondering if this is ideal. What is the best sounding notch position to have a bit of that quack? Do I need the middle split too, or is it okay to leave it full?

[btw the pickups are Suhr Aldrich bridge, fast track 1 middle, satch track neck.]

Thank you!

For position 2, I would use Auto-split for the Aldrich only. IMO you don't need the auto-split for position 4. Full humbuckers in Position 4 will definitely work.

You could set up the toggle switch to only split the Satch track (to north coil) and fast track 1 (to south coil), then you will get more vintage strat style quack in position 2 and 4 and have hum cancelling in those positions.
The Fast track 1 south coil will have low output like a vintage single coil, yet still sound good with 500k controls.

I'm not sure if its possible to wire a toggle switch to split all 3 humbuckers in your case. Although I know it can be done using a DPDT toggle switch + regular 5 way blade.
