I sort of put this in the idea box of, "I don't know what I want, so I'll do as much as possible to cover my options because I can."
If you knew what you wanted, one mic and one pickup would be more than enough.
The other things to consider are how nice your mics are, how nice your room sounds and what the recording is for. Nothing sounds better than a great mic in a great sounding room for solo work, but if it's for an arrangement in which everyone wants to play at the same time to create a groove, then direct may well work better to eliminate bleed from other instruments.
