2014 Gibson Melody Maker Bridge??

[Gingertea]

Hey all, First time posting so let me know if something is glaringly wrong.

I have a 2014 Gibson Melody Maker, which is pretty much a Les paul in everything but name, anyway, the previous owner had replaced the lightning wraparound bridge with some chinese alternative and i'd very much like to get a new bridge for it. I'm not paying for an official Gibson replacement as there's no way to justify spending that much on the part, but I have no idea as to what the right bridge would be. There's so many different types from different eras and i'm struggling to find the right one for it. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Are you looking for:
a) A 'better' lightning-bolt?
b) A Badass-style adjustable?
c) A compromise, like the Wilkinson adjusta-bolt?
d) Something different?
