Hollowbody Pickups - Archtop Voiced or 57/08?

[C&M Music - Lafayette]

Sorta on topic here... Does anyone have experience with 53 10's in their Hollowbody II. I like my 57-08's that are in it now, but am curious if I will like 53 10's in it better. The situation is that I seldom play my JA 15 with the 53 10's, just because of my comfort with my HB II. I actually like the 53 10's the best, but not sure what they will be like in the HB II?

There are a few threads discussing this, but from what I've picked up on (

) the 53/10s are the most mellow of the line. So in order from mellow to hot, it's apparently: 53/10, 57/08, 58/08, 59/09. And I'm not sure where the new 58/15s fit in. Don't hold me to this, as I've not tried all of them, and most of the data is anecdotal.

IMHO The 57/08's will sound fantastic in any guitar they are put into.
I also just happened to notice that they (the 57/08's) have nearly identical specs to some very popular commercially available pickups from a certain very large manufacturer of guitar pickups.
