Pick up covers? Open Coils?

Hey guys me AGAIN haha. This time I was wondering about the difference between Open Coil vs a Covered Humbucker. I have decided on buying a 498T as a replacement for my 335's Bridge pickup. However it is offered as an open coil or with mutiple covers. What is the difference? Thanks again.

The difference is that there will be a plated metal cover on the covered models, while the uncovered will have exposed bobbins. Some folks will indicate that there is an audible difference between them as well, but I won't jump in on that debate. I'm sure there are plenty here who could tear that one apart...

 

I say just pick which one you think looks best.
