I'm having a custom Jr made, p90's or humbuckers?

I'm ordering a LP Jr doublecut kit from precision guitars and am having it assembled and painted by Banning guitars.
I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it totally traditional (i.e. wraparound and p90) or change it up a little kind of like Fano does with their designs.

For my style of playing humbuckers would probably be best although I'm sure I could make due with some BKP p90's.
I was also thinking about maybe having it routed for Anderson TM3's which I think are maybe a little bigger than mini humbuckers.

Also, will a humbucker route fit under a regular Jr pickguard? I only want one pickup starting out but it would be cool to be able to install one down the road if I felt like it. With a p90 it definitely wouldn't be an option. I hate the pickguards that come on the Jr's w/ 2 p90's.

What do you think?

Guitar is going to be somewhere between Cadillac green and Britsish Racing green.
 
If you're not sure, route it for buckers and put bucker sized P90s in it. When you want a change the route is there and you don't have to have additional work done. My 02.
 
Why P90 OR HB?

Go HB AND P90 :)

I really like the way TV Jones' look but from what I've heard they don't handle high gain well.
I've thought about having one rewound to put in a cabronita body but don't know how it would turn out.
And yeah Stein, I think thats what I'm leaning towards. I just figured I'd get some other people's opinions.
Until recently for some reason if I saw a humbucker in a Jr I pretty much automatically thought Epiphone or cheap GC special run.

That looks really cool, that color is AWESOME but is that p90 correctly sized? I really didn't think one would fit in a Jr pg like that.

Yup.

Any thoughts on the Tonepros wrap vs Graphtech Resomax?

I never played a guitar with the Graphtech. I have played a PRS with the Tonepros and it seems like a solid bridge.
