The realist is by far the most natural sounding pickup around. When I first heard one coming through an small amp at a medium volume I couldn't tell that it was amplified at all - they're incredible at reproducing the natural sound of the instrument. You might not want that sound though, some people like John Pattitucci like the more electrified sound that comes with pickups like the Fishman or the Underwood. I personally don't like it (upright bass is supposed to thump, its not supposed to sound like an electric, imho) but a lot of people do.
