G'day, Alamo.
It seems like you've decided on the HotPlate type solution to your problem, and I can see that it's a pretty good all-round solution to electrifying a Reso.
I was looking to amp up my Regal metal body biscuit cone a while back and was looking at all the magnetic pick-up ideas. I finally decided I wanted to get as close to the "real" sound of the guitar as possible, so I went for a Schatten cone transducer (after hearing sound-clips.)
The only mod to the body was replacing the end strap pin to the one supplied ( for the plug jack ) and it's a winner !
I run it through my regular pedalboard ( using my clean boost pedal as a pre-amp ) - and straight into my DRRI. I can add dirt or trem as I please and it still sounds like a "real" reso when clean.
I suppose it depends on whether you need the option of sounding like a "natural, clean" acoustic reso or not.
Good luck.
