I’m in a similar boat and got some really useful advice from the peeps here. In a nutshell you can’t go wrong with any replacement by the sounds of it but recommendations were Creamery, Mojo, Lollar and Oil City if I remember rightly. I’d rather buy British tbh so that gives me 3 options. If you could buy all 3 and make you tube videos of them in your Tele in turn it would be very much appreciated !
I did find some YouTube comparisons of Creamery WRHB vs others, but tbh it's really hard to discern the difference on a heavily compressed YT vid.

If not, I’ve had a set of Creamery and they’re very good. Remember, some of the sound is about the pots. The originals used 1 meg pots. Try changing your pots before your pickups
im thinking about putting Creamery WRHB in my jazzmaster based on this.
ive had other pickups from the creamery in the past and agree with all positive comments about them, a great service and great end product. Hope this helps

For my money Lollar Regals would be the way forward.
Looks like the budget route to achieving vintage specs, albeit you’d be without your pickups for a few weeks.
