IMHO the Wilde/Bill and Becky Lawrence L280 noiseless pick ups are the best drop-in replacements for the sake of fat tone and clarity.
The Dimarzio Area T pickups are a close second. They might get you closer to the classic Ed Bickert pre-PAF tone, if that's what you're looking for, than the Wildes. Having used both extensively, I prefer the Wilde pickups.
Both of those have a bit of humbucker compression; if you really like the true single coil sound, the Wilde Microcoil pickups for the Telecaster are outstanding. While they are a true single coil, they pick up less noise due to the smaller coil not offering as much antenna. There are two versions, one with I presume a ceramic bar magnet and one with alnico polepiece magnets; I prefer the sound of the ceramics (the alnicos are a little too Stratty for my tastes).
In my case, I have found that I like adding a resistor in parallel between the hot output of the bridge pickup and ground to sweeten/round off the highs just a little bit and make it less spiky. There are wiring diagrams on the Wilde website and also Lindy Fralin's website has a very nice page on this. Basically, this makes the bridge pickup think it is seeing a lower resistance pot, say 100K, while the neck pick up thinks it's seeing 250K. Folks who belong to the icepick school of Telecaster bridge pickups would probably hate it.
Thought I would share. Aerodyne Telecaster. Stock pickup replaced with CC in P-90 case and upgraded bridge pickup. Both by Pete Biloft at Vintage Vibe pickups.
Sounds like you'll dig Lester Young, Herb Ellis, Kenny Burrell and Charlie Christian.

I think the key to Barry’s stuff, either in terms of multiple voices or with lines, is it gives us infinite things to play, using little modular components and ideas, motifs, cells, that, once we...
Nothing special, a plain-looking Wu product, with no bling, as ordered. But it's the one I pick up almost every time, whether for acoustic or amplified playing. I have a Benedetto, but this one...

Beautiful large soundhole (grande bouche) gypsy jazz guitar....
Note how he uses the same principle that Chris Mirabella also uses, with the "divider" acting as a bridge in line with the saddle. Great minds think alike...!
