I'd want the bridge pickup to be not too hot, or be tappable, and have the option of vintage style output and higher.
That is NOT a Telecaster. Its an abomination - an ugly unfinished superstrat (they just forgot to do the top horn)
If so, I say Humbucker in the neck position. (I also think that mini humbucker in the neck position is a wonderful look. Very desirable).
Different answer if you are a pro jobbing musician in Nashville.
When I visited Nashville I wanted to hear twang in every venue I visited.
I was not disappointed.
Also, you need to work on your indignation, the guys over on TDPRI did a far better job
Must say I think Mojo Marc's Broadcasters are the best Tele pickups I've heard
I agree about one tele not being enough, my infatuation with my Esquire has lead me to start two builds. Both Telecasters- a Chris Shiflett inspired Deluxe with humbuckers and a Cabronita that'll get a MojoTron when I get the funds together.
My pickup suggestions for YOUR "desert island" Telecaster would depend on its tone woods, neck dimensions and bridge design.
This is a movable feast. The Telecaster is strongly associated with certain popular music styles and multi-string bending stunts. It is possible to perform these characteristic licks on other guitars, leading listeners to convince themselves that they have heard a Telecaster when, in fact, they have not.
Equally, it is possible to play licks on a Telecaster that are not commonly associated with a Fender solid body guitar. For instance, a good Tele neck/Rhythm pickup should be capable of producing the sort of Jazz tone associated with a small humbucker on a hollow body guitar.
Schecter do one like that (as do fender now actually) but neither in butterscotch which to me is the only tele colour I'd consider.
