I also got LR. Baggs recommended, and for the Cittern the Element version
When listening Highlander, L.R. Baggs, Trance Audio and Pickup the world sounds the best.
I won´t be playing big stages with a loud band.
I´ve noticed that there are both passive and active ("build in" preamp) systems.
Any help is appreciated

I have an Eastman 'cello, basically an L4 Gibson guitar set up as a mandocello . Fairly large body. I tried a couple of different approaches. I found the LR Baggs Anthem pickup to work very well. It is completely invisible, fairly feedback resistant, and works well through a powered speaker. and without much fussing around necessary to get good sound (basically using just tone controls on the pickup, which are easily accessible through the sound hole).
Note: I played a short solo set on the 'cello in a small theater ( about 200 seats). I plugged the MC directly into the PA. No mess, no fuss, good sound.
