thats the sensible answer. But a large part of working on guitars is often overcoming issues like this. there is no such thing as "standard size" for guitar parts, especially once you move away from brand name parts.
So yeah, buy stuff you know will fit, especially if you want to keep it easy. But if you carry on working on guitars sooner or later (it will be sooner) you will come across some parts that need a little modding to fit properly. Being able to do the appropriate mods massively widens the choice of parts available to you
For me, on both these theoretical situations i would look at altering the pocket rather than the neck. Routing the pocket wider if the neck was too wide or gluing in some blocks or veneers of wood and re-routing to the correct size if the neck was too narrow. I may consider sanding the sides of the neck if it was a tiny amount to remove.
