Which pots & cap for Mean 90's?

I'm building a mahogany bodied Tele with Mean 90's and a 25.0" neck. Should I go with 500k or 300k pots or stick with 250k? What's a good cap value? I do tend to favor brighter tones (even though I know these are mid heavy). I tend to keep my tone control on 10. I plan to use a no load tone pot and will probably shield the cavities as well.

I would say 500K audio taper and a .022 cap, just the common way to go.

Thanks, Steve. After doing some more searched that looks like the general consensus.

If anyone else has a different approach please chime in.
