Building a warmoth custom with a reverse angled Bridge HB route . The Bridge is going to be a Schaller Hannes (54mm spacing E-e) .
I realise that some guitars were built with angled bridge buckers to try and line up the poles on a standard spaced humbucker better with the strings, BUT I have access to: 49, 50, 51 or 52mm Humbucker bobbins...

What spacing will give the best match ? I'm thinking either 50 or 51mm spaced

This might depend on the degree of slant, too.

You might want the largest you can get. For comparison, a Duncan 48mm Humbucker is 52mm diagonally. A 52mm Trembucker is 55mm diagonally, corner pole to corner pole. Since your bridge is 54mm, slanting a trembucker would just get you under the strings.
