Default Best bridge replacement for a Fender Jaguar thinline

I'm interested in getting a replacement bridge for my MIJ Fender Jaguar Thinline (too buzzy, incsure of string spacing between each threaded saddle peg). I've heard that there are a variety of options for a bridge replacement bridge. For anyone whose done it, which ones have you tried and how have you liked it?

So options I've seen so far are
-Mastery offset Bridge
-Warmoth Modified Jaguar Bridge
-Staytrem/Johnny Marr Bridge
-Generic modified bridge

I've read in one case that the Staytrem bridge added more sustain. It also seems like most people go with the Mastery bridge option, seeing it as the best one but I'm not sure what kind of improvement it has. Also that's a $200 just for the bridge. I'm leaning more towards the Staytrem bridge option right now for half the price.

I just installed a Staytrem on my Squier VM Jaguar, having become quickly dissatisfied with the stock bridge, for all the reasons you mention.

Worth every penny. Nice solid piece of kit; no rattles, the radius is right, and the string spacing is right - and it was just over half the price of the Mastery. I bought it through eBay, and it took about a week to get here from the UK.
