If you're ready for a refret, those tuners are probably close to retirement as well.
My only experience with USACG and Warmoth has been using Gotoh "kluson" tuners. I think you should try some Fender models with maybe the next size smaller fret, perhaps a 6105. Tommy will build you a neck of basically any girth or taper you like; if you can stay within the ordering strictures of Warmoth, that product can come at you real fast and presently is a bit less money.
While a maple cap SSV from Tommy might be my favorite, I don't have a one of the 10 or so Warmoths finished and installed on guitars I am anything but pleased with. Boatnecks and Fatbacks, 1 + 11/16ths and 1 + 5/8ths at the nut, maple boards and rosewood, all Vintage Modern of those so far finished. USACG lets you drill the neck mount holes, Warmoth prefers to do it for you. Neither has any sealer on it, both will redrill the tuner bores should you not want the Gotoh "kluson".
I got to fool with an Allparts TMO-FAT the other day with poly. You gotta drill your own neck holes, the frets are covered in amber finish, and the bores must be reamed out even for Gotoh "klusons" as best I can tell. And it isn't as massive as I'd expected, unfortunately. Very well made, tho.
