The reason I use a hex pickup in the neck position rather than a Roland GK-2-type bridge pickup is that I'm driving an octave divider pedal which bounces octaves less frequently when the signal is coming from the neck position. I always have the low E and A strings connected, and the top 4 strings are always connected. So the only crosstalk that can cause me problems is the D string bleeding heavily into the A string when I am in split more (octave divider on the lower 2 strings and guitar sound on the top 4). I agree with Matthias that a bridge-mounted hex pickup is better for hexaphonic distortion and synth tracking. But a neck-position one is better for an octave divider effect.
