What pickup would you put in a Guild DV 52?

Its essentially the same as a Martin D-28. I have a pickup in it already that does not work very well at all and needs either repair or replacement. I'm thinking that I would dig one of the systems where they have the pickup under the bridge and a mic in the body. Pros and cons? This is an area I am not very familiar with.
 
If you can spend it, Sunrise all the way. Otherwise I think the LR Baggs lyric is great. In my Martin I went with the K&K Pure Western/Mini, but it doesn't have a mic; you can add one though.
 
Well, I just dropped it off with TR Guitars this afternoon and he said he should be able to fix the existing Fishman in time for my gig this weekend. I'll wait on a replacement until after I've tried it on stage.
