I wanted to make an objective decision with all the facts from both sides
so I appreciated that paper had some sound logic (pardon the pun) from one
side of the issue, I'm not taking it as the final word at all don't worry.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to do this project but only if I do the
majority of the construction myself so there ain't no Richie Rich spendin'
going on here at all... :)

I think in the end I'm leaning toward going with Romex (which does comply
with code here). The fact that this space is larger with a higher ceiling
to route the wiring through than what I had before will enable greater
distances from the single coil instruments generally.. As I said in my
original post the single coil noise was only a minor annoyance but I
thought it prudent to at least ask for some input before starting from
scratch. My gut feeling was that it was not worth shielding it but I
appreciate what everyone has shared and that they have taken time to
reply.
