I would go with the K&K Pure Western. It's the first pickup I've heard that sounds like your guitar only louder. The I-Beam is OK, and I've never heard a Fishman that I liked.

Go with a passive system and run your preamp externally. Add as little mass to the guitar as possible. For me, that means K&K. I spent 14 months listening to high end acoustics before and after pickups were installed, and I simply couldn't tell when the K&K had been added when the guitar was played acoustically.

The K&K pickups are so good, we rarely had customers leave the shop without adding them to their brand new, $5000 guitars.
