Which compensated brass bridge saddles?

For my new Harley Benton Tele. I know Gotoh are good but around £20, so I was thinking Wilkinson that are around £10-12.  Any thoughts or other decent makes to consider?

I’ve had the Wilkinson, they were fine and did the job.  I think I would try the Gotoh In-Tune saddles if I was buying now, they look great.

I prefer the types with the preset compensation determined by the angles at which the intonation screw threads are cut.

Obviously, the swivel screw type is fully adjustable but I do not trust ‘em to stay locked in position. (It is possible that I sometimes lean my palm on the saddles too firmly.)

Allparts (and others) offer “conversion” packs of just the saddles, screws and springs.

I'm not entirely sure but some saddles only work for certain Tele Bridge plates, eg the Wilko ones are Asian Spec and won't work on a USA Tele bridge plate.

I have a cut side Tele bridge I bought from Northwest Guitar Parts for about £20 which I like, top load as well with reversible compensated brass saddles. With the saddles on on the compensated side, I couldn't get them to intonate but on the non compensated side the intonation was perfect!

Callaham 'Enhanced Vintage Compensated Tele Saddles'. I even ended up replacing the Wilkinson saddles on my Suhr Classic T with them.

If you do decide to go down the Wilkinson route, I have a new unused set that I got ages ago & never got round to fitting.
You can have them for free if you want but it would be nice to maybe make a donation to tFB?  
No worries if not wanted

I've got Wilkinsons on my partscaster, they work fine, even if they are brass.
