What is IYO the best Tune-O-Matic?

I'm a big believer that changing the TOM could have a positive effect on tone. I once had a MIM Strat and I replaced the old school 6-point trem with a 2-point Wilkinson with great results.

I've just never looked into upgrading the Gotoh TOMs on my Warmoths. I really don't have any complaints or reason to change them at the moment.
 
I replaced a stock Gibson Custom Shop ABR with a Faber. I did that because the "no wire" tune-o-matic bridge saddles would fall out if I broke a string! I didn't want that to happen on a dark stage. I'd probably never find it! I think it's a super high-quality bridge. Does it sound better? Well, I changed strings at the same time, so yeah, it sounded better. I don't hear anything drastic otherwise.
 
To those of you with ABR-1's, do you not have issues with the smaller range for intonation?

On both my Nashvilles, I have the low E (C, in my case) and the 3rd string all the way to the edge.
