Hi, I need help. My old 200$ rotary switch is going out.

Just ordered some Gibson BB Pros to replace the Dragon 1's.

I need a 5 or 6 position switch. What is the best one to buy? Or a push pull pot?
No drilling wanted. Need to tap the single coils, of the Gibson BB Pro's, as well as the typical 3 humbucker positions.
 
i would do a 3 way toggle and then a push/push tone pot for tapping. I get my push/push pot from guitarfetish.com. same ones I have seen on other sites for more money. Only other option is another rotary switch, 6 pole i believe.
 
Yes I like the push pull pot along(shown) with a simple 3 way switch. Here's one:
I have since read that the 5 position , stock , 1995 rotary PU selection isn't just separated single coils and humbucker positions.
Apparently PRS targeted humbucker 3 positions and a single in series with the humbucker. Probably the most musical sounding instead of just separated single coil tapped humbucker ONLY ?

My other criteria is this will be taking the 4 wire Gibson LP Humbucker outputs which have a cool Single coil that is as loud as the humbucker and a Peter Green Phase wiring, as well.

I would like to get the most musically useable wirings like my 2012 Gibson les Paul Standard. Not just 3 hum and 3 single tones. I would like 3 humbucker switched and then 3 of the best tones out there for strat and phase fun.
