Which Rick Pickups Should I Get?

I have a DeArmond M75-T that I want to replace the pickups in. It's a great guitar, but I'd like to get a more chimey, glassy tone from it. I'm thinking Rickenbacker pickups would be perfect for this, but I don't know which kind to "pick up." I know there's at least two kind -- high-gain and normal.
Also, where's the best place to purchase them online?
Danke!

Thanks guys. Three more questions:
1. Are they top mountable, or inset?
2. Where is the best place to buy them online?
3. Have any of you experience with the Guitar Fetish line of pickups?

Anthony, a picture of the body of the guitar in question would be useful to answer Question #1, as RIC pickups are usually top-mounted on the body, but can be through-the-pickguard mounted if the pickguard covers that part of the body.
For Question #2, I recommend Mike Parks' website:

I lack the relevant experience to answer Question #3.
