Tell me about Hardtail Strat bridges

[BuffaloTom]

Tell me about Hardtail Strat bridges and graphite saddles to accompany them. I view publisher site https://www.stereoshore.com/best-strat-bridges/ , but still have questions.  I'm getting closer to ordering a hardtail Strat body from Warmoth, but I don't know anything about spacing or bridges, etc. This is going to be a "Modern" sounding guitar with HBs so I don't need vintage correct sound, just a good solid, string through body bridge that someone (Graphtech?) makes graphite saddles to fit.

Which should I choose and why?

You will want to get an F Spaced bridge pickup so the poles line up.
 I have a Fender HH telecaster with a Stratocaster Hardtail bridge.
I wanted the Seymour Duncan Hot Rod pickup set so I installed a
  SH-2 Jazz in the neck and a TB-4 Trembucker in the bridge. The TB-4 is a JB pickup that is F-Spaced.
Trembucker is Seymour Duncan’s word for F spaced.
All of the strings on my HH telecaster line up with the poles perfectly.

Hey Tom,

Have you tried thegearpage?  Lots of strat talk there, as well!

on your link you shared comparing bridge types.
The Gotoh style bridge pieces I have found will dig into the heel of my hand. I do alot of muting (as most heavy distorted players do).
The small set-screws that adjust individual action stick up and gouge my hand.
One of my pet peeves is a rough bridge. It has to be smooth so I can roll my heel to control muting.
I much prefer the flatter pieces of the Floyd Rose bridge.

StewMac sells all kinds of bridge styles and spacing.
