I'm getting ready to install a Duncan Lil 59 in my partscaster. It's a pretty standard Tele with an alder body and a maple neck. I'm trying to find a noiseless neck pickup for it.
Duncan recommends their STK-T1n Vintage Stack. I was also thinking of a Dimarzio Area T, a Wilde L-200TN, and a Fender Vintage Noiseless. Are there any others that I should consider?

The Area T neck + Lil 59 bridge is a popular combo, and it works well. The Duncan Vintage Stack is great too, but the Area T is more clear and open.

I have a Fender Vintage Noiseless pup in the neck, Little 59 in the bridge. I really enjoy them together. I didn't care for the Area T that much FWIW. The Vintage Noiseless, once the pup height is fine tuned, can really compliment the PAFish output of the 59.

The Vintage Noiseless, once the pup height is fine tuned, can really compliment the PAFish output of the 59.That's really good to know. The Vintage Noiseless is one of the most reasonably priced pickups.

You might consider the L280TN as well as the L200TN. Of the two, the L280TN is a bit louder and brighter, so I think it might match a bit better in output with the Lil' 59.
If you need a vintage look, Bill's L202TN is an L200 with a cover. Available in black, white and chrome.

The lil59 and the adjustable poles let you dial in lots.. I back bass side down.
