IMO, if you can't find satisfying Strat or Tele pickups from Fender or Duncan, then most likely you either haven't explored all their options or have too much GAS.
I have certainly succumbed to the GAS enough times with both boutique and non-boutique Strat and Tele pickups, but I've never found anything better than the Nocasters for Tele and the California 50s (SSL-1) with "David Gilmour" bridge (SSL-5) set for Stratocaster.
**I do like the Duncan Jerry Donahue Telecaster bridge pickup slightly better than the Nocaster, but for a matched set -- especially with the Fender four-way switch -- it's pretty hard to beat the Nocasters.**
