2 conductor

I got a Gibson SG Standard and my pickups are 490r and 498t. Gibson's website says this
"Available with chrome, gold or nickel covers, or open coils, the 498T comes with four conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations. "
I'm confused now. Should i get 2 or 4? thanks

Do you use coil taps?

Sorry, I should have read more before I posted.
"NOTE: Factory-installed 490R and 490T pickups have two conductor wiring. "
thanks for the reply!!!
big steve:
what is the difference between the 2 magnet/polepiece options on singlecoils? i think they are "flat profile" and "vintage stagger" but i can't just remember off the top of my head.
PhilKing:
I think there are 3 options depending on the pickup.
My Apache's have a 54 stagger. This has the G magnet lower and A higher than the vintage , but still has E&B lowest, then E & G then A and D highest.
The vintage stagger makes the top E & B lowest, then the bottom E & A, with the D & G tallest.
In the flat, all the magnets are the same length.
