I'm watching SRV Live at the El Mocambo at this moment. You're wanting a fairly wide neck with a nice wide and flat compound radius. I've had Charvels with necks like this both in rosewood and maple. You didn't mention if you're going to put this new neck on an existing guitar or not.
I really like the medium jumbos on my Fender MW Tele. The MIM Strat I have has smaller frets. I'd probably consider bigger frets on a neck that you're thinking about. They really add a lot to the string tone off the neck IMO. All this is very subjective though based on your own personal needs. Are you going to install the neck on an existing guitar and if so....what body and what type of wood and finish?
PS. Some vintage Kluson tuners would be a nice companion to your new neck.
