I like pic 1 and 3 best, FWIW. I haven't heard the GFS pickup, but if it performs as advertised that's the version I'd use. If it were me, I'd try it first, and go to one of the others if you don't like it.
I have a set of GFS lil'Punchers that are also advertised as "modern vintage" like the gold foils. I like them a lot. You could put a coil cut on on a push-pull pot or a microswitch to get the best of both worlds and see the veneer.... Just a thought ;-)

I thought hard about other pickup ring options and made some mockups but I preferred the pickguard over other options with the tele pickup.
I bought some connectors a while back (one is already on the GFS) So I could swap pickups quickly in a test scenario, so I think they'll come in handy now. I'll keep you guys posted on the differences between those two pickups.
Re. coil split, it is the single-coil version in a humbucker size. (See link)
