I can see in my eBay watch list, there's a mixture of the two types, three and six between the guitars. It appears the ones with the humbucker are more likely to have six.
It gets a bit complicated… within the three-saddle niche you have plain (straight) brass saddles, straight steel saddles (straight saddles often have some kind of slot or threaded surface to stop the string from moving), compensated ones where the saddles are threaded at an angle to stagger the strings, compensated ones with peaks or grooves shaped into the saddle where one peak is further forward, and the "hot rod" ones where you have raised peaks but you can actually move one side to fully adjust the intonation.
Then you have the six-saddle variants.
The more modern designs tend to be more convenient but you usually find guitarists complaining they don't sound right, because guitarists.

@ Jung
What's the benefit of brass over the three or six above? And would a P90 be preferable to a humbucker at the neck?
