which pickup routing for my next superstrat?

I'm digging the idea of a San Dimas style superstrat (i.e. rear routed, no pickguard) for playing a variety of rock, 80's rock and pop in my friend's cover band, but I'd like your advice on which pickup routing I should go with.

Minimum requirement is a bridge position humbucker, but it would be nice to have a single coil in the neck (like a Dimarzio rail pickup) Here are my possible choices:

I'm leaning towards the stuff that has an angled pickup like the ASxH, ASxAH, or the AHxAH.

What do you all think?

I would do the AH x AH and have a switch on the tone to split the coil of the neck.

It the split wont give you a proper fender single coil sound because it has less windings on each coil, and has diffrent magnets.

I just realized, while I stated I'd like the AH x AH routing, it doesn't appear that it's an option (they have a standard neck HB routing w/ an angled bridge humbucker, but no angled neck HB option).

I'll email them to see if a dual angled HB configuration is possible.
