Like everything in guitar tone, personal preference rules. The same applies to treble bleed circuit values.
There are nearly as many combinations as there are values. It's often a process of trial and error.
Also different pickup manufacturers have combinations that they favour and presumably work best with their brand of pickup.
I'll attach two items that may help you sort this out. One is just a simple diagram showing three basic methods, the second is a list compiled by an online acquaintance of mine that shows cap & resistor values by pickup maker/brand.
FWIW, the past few years I've been going with the "cap only" method. This works for me, but YMMV.
I use a .001uf cap (code 102).
