Default 12-string acoustic baritone guitarpickup ?

I´m looking for a decent priced pickup
for my almost finished 12-string acoustic baritone guitar.

Does a sound-hole pickup exist?
How about a K&K mini?
Or another proposal?

K&K mini would be a good choice. A LR Baggs I-Beam would be another.

Brian, thanks for your tip!
I found that K&K even offers a "Pure 12-String" pickup which
is optimized for bass -a good thing for the 27" strings of the baritone.

Whilst K&K are surely good, I had a standard Fishman UST fitted to my Del'Arte Leadbelly, and due to the down pressure it had a great sound with very high output - no quack.
