Lot's of great choices in pickups these days. After playing the same old stuff for decades I've been trying some of the new acoustic guitar PU systems and I'm impressed with the currently available stuff.
FWIW I settled on an Anthem SL system in my new Waterloo guitar and a DiMarzio Black Angel sound hole PU for my ancient J45 that doesn't have an end pin jack. Both pickups are quite nice compared to older PU systems I have used.
Interesting recent developments include foot pedal DI boxes with analogue or digital processing designed to tame the quack and honk of piezo pickups. I have only used the Session DI because it's the first one I auditioned and it hit a home run when used with the Anthem SL.
