The true function of the lower coil is to cancel the hum and RF interference normally associated with Stratocaster pickups. Coil splitting to the upper coil reintroduces the possibility of interference. That leaves series or parallel interconnection and phase reversal of one coil with respect to the other. In my opinion, only the series/parallel option will produce any discernible difference. Even that will be minor. Barely worth assigning a push-pull pot to it.
Both are Stratty in different ways. Split definitely has more top end, and unsplit has a touch more mids. Combines well with the Bulldog Extremist (bridge - Clarky spec) and Duncan Distortion (neck).
If anyone is looking for a new strat pickup defo worth looking at.

I haven't bothered with splitting either the neck or bridge 'buckers though.
