Re: What's in your fat teles?
I have a Jerry donahue in the bridge and a SM-1 mini humbucker in the neck. I have great classic tele tones in the bridge position with beutiful twang when clean and enough muscle to rock out when dirty. From the neck, I get a bit fatter than a standard single, but more clatrity and sparkle than a full sized PAF. It's a great sound for clean jazz and blues and with enough gain, it gets pretty creamy. The middle position is cool, but not exactly like a classic tele. If fact, for playing clean in the middle position, I preffer my 69 RI Thinline with the STL-2/STR-2 Hot set (which is also plenty fat in it's own right).

Re: What's in your fat teles?
Hmmm . . . can I count my Genny Tele-clone as a phat Tele?
I'll only talk about the C5, 'cause the QP's aren't really the Tele-ish part of the sound. The Custom 5 however, strikes me as the perfect Tele bridge pup. At least, in my setup. When used by itself, it immediately says "country" to me, with just the right amount of "twang". But it still maintains a rich, harmonic, and smooth character of a humbucker.
Its the only guitar I have where I'll use the bridge pup by itself - and I end up using it by itself, most of the time. Now, I'm just looking for the right American Tele to move everything over to.
It's my new favorite guitar.
