I've got Vintage noiseless and Gold Lace. I like the Lace pickups better. I just haven't found a tone pot that I like with the Vintage Noiseless yet. I'm really guessing that is why I don't like them much though. I've read a lot from guys that have had the Vintage and Hot Noiseless. They prefer the Hot Noiseless. In my opinion that might be the best sounding option for you. It's where I'll go if I get around to unloading the Vintage Noiseless someday. The Lace Golds are good, but different. I think I like the Hot Noiseless sound clips that I've heard better than the Lace pickups. The Lace have a neat characteristic in that there is very low magnetism and you can really feel it in the way the strings move. They vibrate longer and are easier to activate.
