Default pickup suggestions

I posted earlier today about a new Huss & Dalton that was delivered this afternoon. At some point I'll want to put a pickup in it, though I hope to resist the temptation to gig with it.

It's a CM, a smaller bodied guitar with the width of a dread. It's got a sinker redwood top, East Indian rosewood sides and back.

I obviously don't want to alter the guitar any more than I have to but I want the system that will make it sound the best.

What do you all suggest? Thanks.

I can think of no good reason other than playing out to have a pickup put in your guitar. At home you can mic it.

You are correct. What I think I'll end up doing is taking to gigs that aren't the traditional barroom settings where the patrons, including me, will be drinking. I think there will be some festivals and other gigs where it will be "safe" and I'd love to play with it live from time to time.

In that case, Dazzos and a SunnAudio Stage DI.

Yeah, I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but I'd like to share the joy.
