Default Best standard installed pickup

Hi,

Curious as to opinions on what pickup, that you buy already installed in an Acoustic Guitar, is the best. Pros/Cons, etc. Let's go!

Examples: Taylor ES2, Martin Fishman Aura/Matrix, Gibson Baggs VTC, etc.

Hmmm, I'd say the Gibson J45s with Trance Amulet factory installed

Hands down for me, the Yamaha A R.T. transducer pickup found in both my FGX730SCA, and LLX6A. They still use this pickup in a couple steel string guitars -- a really small bodied one, the CPX700, and a few nylon string models. I have no idea why they don't use it with the SRT modeling systems. Very natural sounding pickups with absolutely no piezo quack. Works well for percussive looping too.
