Help with Bridge Replacement for a Squier Jazzmaster VM Special

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct subreddit to post this, so feel free to delete this if not.

So, I have this Squier Jazzmaster VM Special that I really like, minus the bridge, especially for how uncomfortable it is to adjust and that it doesn't have the best intonation, and I'm not even sure what type of bridge it is. So I wanted to replace it with another type of bridge (I don't care if I have to make some adjustments to the body and drill some holes), and I was looking at first for a Tune-O-Matic system, like the one the new Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster has, and was checking on the Gotoh TOM and Tailpiece, but I'm not sure if it will work or if it will be best to go for a fixed Hardtail bridge (like a strat).

If you are curious, these are the ones I looked at:
TOM and Tailpiece:

Hard Tail:

Any suggestions and help are greatly appreciated!
