Tune-o-Matic bridge replacement for a Schecter Hellraiser

Hey guys, I'm going to need to replace my bridge on my Hellraiser. Awhile ago I was breaking my low string and I ended up sanding the saddle down, which stopped the string breaking but has caused issues with intonation. I recently have been playing gigs and have noticed tuning issues with the low D string due to the tampered saddle.

So I have decided that I'm going to get a whole new bridge, replacing the saddles themselves seems like it would cost just about as much as buying a new bridge. The specific bridge that is on this guitar is a Sung IL BM003 bridge. Here's the link to the dimensions and information about it.

So what are my options? Thanks.

I had a couple roller tune o matics I bought from Guitar Fetish that I really liked. I kept one on a Schecter I used to have, so it should fit. The other is on my Epi LP Goth and it works nicely too.

I have the "Fits LP" ones in black. It's a little tight on my Epi LP (still works fine) but it was just right on my Schecter. I personally really like what GFS has to offer, and their customer service has been great to me. Ordered a batch of cable that ended up being from a bad batch and they sent me a replacement for free, with more footage than my original order. Sorry off topic a bit, but yes, the "fits les paul" one.

I got a babicz TOM bridge recently. A bit pricey, but it is a great investment. I plan on getting one for every guitar I have now. You should look into it

I have the Wilkinson version on my #1 and love how the posts lock and the saddles sit flush with the body of the bridge. Not certain about the saddle composition, but the main body of the Wilkinson is brass.

On the other unit linked to above, the rollers are steel, but GFS told me everything else is "zinc alloy".

I've been contemplating a move to this: LINK I'm very content with my Wilkinson from a functional and performance standpoint, but the no-name Allparts unit better matches my Schaller fine-tuner tailpiece.

If I was going with another part from Guitar Fetish, I'd order this one: LINK ...the reviews are few and far between, but all positive.
