It depends on one's pickup choices and overall goals. In one of my Strats, I want a vintage single-coil sound from the neck and middle positions, so I have Vintage Rails there. I put a Pearly Gates HB in the bridge position because I want that Strat to sound really hot when I engage position 5. Splitting off one of its coils would not give me a vintage sound in the middle position the way the Vintage Rail does.
