Let me throw out a couple other options FWIW:
If you like the pickup you have, but it is just not putting out a hot enough signal, you can run a Lil Izzy PLUS which will boost the output by 6db, which is quite a bump. plus, you will get a clearer sound.
If you are getting a hum from a single coil pickup, you can use an Electro Harmonix DeBugger to e!imitate the hum. As far as a new pickup, my advice is to have Jerry Wallace make you a sing!e coil. I am biased because I don't like humbuckers. I am speaking from experience on all three suggestions. Good luck with whatever direction you decide to go.

Jack, either an alumitone or if you could find a Gene Turner Powerboost Pickup. I have a friend with an alumitone in his BMI SD-12 and a LW amp ,it has the bite of a PP Emmons.

Jack, saw where Lace has a new Robert Randolph Alumitone. Should be a 12 string since that what he plays.
