I know I'm late to the party and you already have your config picked out, but I wanted to chime in that I think doing it up like this would be cool

Is that a single up front? I might be up for that with a bucker in the back. I'm going to mull things for a few more days.

That's a serious bridge pickup too.

Here's a better picture of that Strat.



If your Strat has a pool route, you could keep the battery in there and not have to route for a battery compartment. Would be a bit of a pain to have to take the pickguard off anytime you need to change the battery though.

Yeah, that looks great.  I'l also a fan of Daphne Blue with a white guard and EMGs.

All right, I'll throw out a love it or hate it option.

Two P-Rails, V/T setup, two DPDT switches for the pickups (or 1 if real estate is an issue), and an on board Bloviator (trimmer pots inside to tune, switch in the second tone position to bypass).

P-Rails are the Swiss Army knives of pickups - they don't do anything particularly great, but they do a decent job of all three.  I have found they sound better in Fender-ish guitars and longer scales.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Throw a couple of push pull pots instead or switches.

Yeah, the push pots for the P-Rails limits your switching options to Humbucker OR Single Coil OR P-90 (i.e both pickups are setup in the same configuration, so if you want to run a HB in the bridge and a SC in the neck, you have to mission control the switches) if I am not mistaken (it's been a few years since I installed one).  Two switches gives you the AND ability in that configuration.
