If you mean those thin ones, it'd be fine. It'll be wobbly unless you actually screw them down though.

I guess, if you want to call it higher output power mode =P That'd be fun to wire in an EMG PA2 to the top poles...so that you get a gain boost when you go to humbucking too. I think then you could call it turbo =P

It's just a cleaner wiring job to have the pup selector first, because that's where the wires from the pickups go to first.

No, it will split the coils when you pull up. So up=single coils, down=humbuckers.

Passive pickups are going to buzz whether you shield them or not, unless you do an insane grounding job like this http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/shielding/shield3.php or just get an aluminum pickguard. Shielding also increases the chances of grounding something out somewhere and having a huge...
