Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Beyond that I can't really help, as I've removed them from my guitars and use passive Fishman USTs with an outboard preamp.

That doesn't help your undersaddle question of course, but Baggs do have a good name.
the control is really just a volume control whereas the Fishman Matrix Infinity I also have has volume and tone (ranges between middle-y and scooped) which I found quite useful in a “set and forget” kinda way.

Incredibly natural sound vs piezo/under saddle. Would not get anything else.

External mics are great. Internal ones just cause feedback problems and sound odd, because they're picking up a sound you never normally hear from outside the guitar.

I like the K&K - simple, unobtrusive, no batteries required

I’m another one weighing up an Anthem vs a USP/IR Box. I was excited by the new Hifi pickup but having listened to comparison reviews online the Anthem sounded better to my ear. Although I have to admit the unamplified sound of the anthem vs Hifi was far better for the less intrusive hifi .
I don't find a UST affects the acoustic sound - although it's possible some of the softer 'rubbery' type ones might. The Fishmans I use are very stiff and are basically the same as a solid shim.
