250k pots are usually used for volume and tone control on single coil pickups

500k pots are usually used for volume and tone control on humbucker type pickups

Split shafts are suitable for push-on control knobs, solid shafts are suitable for knobs that have a tightening screw.

What is the difference between A pots and B pots?

 

A” would denote an audio taper pot (most of the control happens between 7 – 10) and the “B” suffix would denote a linear taper pot (more even roll-off between 0 – 10)

A and B pots however are interchangeable and the only difference is the taper of the pot, or “how gradually it rolls off”. This is determined by player preference and either will work fine.
