I will also look at pots in the meantime. Any recommended brand (in both 250 and 500k in case I opt for a neck H)?
If you haven't read it here already, just be aware that the control cavity of the TL bodies will require widening if you want to install full size (24mm) pots. Not a big deal if you have the right tools. There is more than one way to accomplish this, ranging from crude to precision. It only needs a couple of millimetres from memory, but something to think about.

Plenty of guys here have used the kit pots without issues AFAIK, and you can still upgrade to higher quality mini pots as an option too.
All the top brands - CTS, Bourne, Gotoh make mini pots in 250 & 500k. I happily use upper-end Alpha brand pots (not the ones Jaycar sells - get them from a guitar parts supplier).
