Neither. I'm not much good at drawing wiring diagrams though. I'd first take a Ric wiring diagram:
And then modify it so the normal output passes through the push/pull switch, like so:
The pot switch should be like this:
In the 'down' position, B links to C and E links to F. In the 'up' position, B links to A and E links to D.
So you'd connect the normal output to C, the 3rd pickup output to A and the jack tip to B. But for greater reliability, you'd link the two sets of contacts so that you'd connect the normal output to C and F, the 3rd pickup output to A and D and the jack tip to B and E.
One other point to note is that the way Ric wire their guitars, the two volume pots are always in parallel (with the common output signal at one end and ground at the other end of the track) so the value of the pot is effectively halved. So with 250k pots the pickups sound like they've got 125k pots (jn a 'Gibson' scheme), with a fair bit or treble being knocked off. I've just modified someone's Ric 460D guitar which has humbuckers and sounded really dark and dull and not like a Ric at all. So I fitted 1Meg pots (to give a more standard 500k value for humbuckers) and it turned it into a far more Ric-like jangle machine. So you may want to think about using 500k pots (to get a normal single coil 250k value) rather than the indicated 250k ones if you aren't using Ric pickups.
If you want it to behave like a Ric then you really should wire it in a Ric fashion, though both Ric and 'Gibson' schemes will otherwise sound the same with all the controls up fully.
