The standard is to use 250K pots with single coils and 500K pots with humbuckers. A higher value will give you a brighter tone while a lower value will attenuate some of the high end. Some players like to use 250K pots with certain humbuckers and some people like 500K pots on single coils.
What do you mean by wiring the pickup controls in a separate box?
I don't see a problem with a seperate box but I don't understand the why. Where is your volume control? What I do see is a lot more work and expense. Do you plan to have two jacks in the tone control box? One for input, one for output, then have more cables? I don't get it. Seems like uneeded complexity.

Each to their own they say. No way I would not have a volume control handy. Tone control, bleh who cares.....Why the hassle? Why not just use the volume and tone on the amp? But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Now I think I understand - they sell a similar idea below where the pickup fits in the sound hole, the controls clip externally eg to the guitar strap and you don't have to drill holes in your guitar.

Yes it should work - I haven't seen one up close so I am not sure how easy it is to adjust the height of the pickup to get the best sound :o)
