Welcome mate. Looking forward to seeing another TL-1Q onboard. I used a dual rail humbucker in the bridge position. Saves doing too much work in the pocket. I did another tele with a 4 way switch, humbucker in the neck and single coil in the bridge. To be honest....the difference between series and parallel positions is not alot, just a bit more low end beef IMO. Make sure you dampen the veneer first to find any glue spots and remove them. There are plenty of spare parts, new pickguards and bits of stuff available online to customize just the way you like it. Take time and get a good idea in your head first as to what you want then go for it. Check the kit first, do a mock build to check alignments, etc, also gives you a template for your ideas. Enjoy! Check out my build in the photo gallery if it helps.
