TB-78 in bridge, looking for a full sized P90 for neck.

I am planning to use a TB-78 in the bridge of my Koa, Red Wood, Maple bodied, VG Maple and Bocote necked Build. It will have a full floating locking bridge and be 24 fret. I am planning on using a full sized P90 in the neck. I'm not apposed to swopping mags if need be.
Would like some ideas/suggestions on which P90?
Thanks, John

If it's regular sized, I like the vintage in the neck. If it's full sized I don't have much experience but the phat cat is the only one duncan makes.

The regular size P90. I know that a HB size P90 would give more versatility as far as being able to put a standard size HB in there at some point but I was planning on a standard size. I may change my mind though. I am looking for something that would match volume wise and tone wise, keeping in mind that it is going in the neck of a 24 fret.
I am going to use a Super switch to give me... Bridge HB, Bridge split, Bridge HB + Neck P90, Bridge split + Neck P90 in series or parallel, Neck P90. If it turns out don't care for that I can always try using a Tele 4 way with or with out a push pull on the tone or a 3 way with a push pull on the tone. By using a blade switch it gives me a lot of options.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks, John

I like the custom series or the "hot for" a lot. The vintage is going to be a bit less output. If you want something a bit different, try a mini humbucker. I've never used one but they intrigue me.
