    Hi Colin, the B pots are Audio taper, the A pots are Linear taper, so yep get one of each. Personally I usually split on the volume pot as its closer to hand, but there is no reason you can't do the Tone, or split the neck on the volume pot and the bridge with the tone pot for even more choices. Push pulls are available in both A or B. ( I just bought some Alpha push pulls, I generally go with them , Bournes or CTS)
    Generally a 500k cap with humbuckers. ( Orange drops are good and not overly huge)
    get a reasonable quality switch and you should be good for years to come.( I usually use the Realtone ones)
    The push back wire is easy to use, saves stripping ends but any suitable gauge wire will do. I usually do all my "hot wires" with the white stuff and all my earths with the black.

    Cheers
