Dragonfire pickups are nice. Guitar fetish ones are too. They are cheaper and sound quite nice

have you considered having your templates laser cut . you can draw out the template in Inkscape and upload it to some place like ponoko.com . pick the material such as acrylic, bamboo, I think they even have MDF . they will laser cut it and ship it to you.
