Pick-up

What is the best way to install a pick-up on a flamenco? The one I have fitted now is situated underneath the saddle at the bridge (great because it is invisible). It is excellent quality, but does not really amplify a golpe. I have had a transducer in the past which stuck to the internal top. Golpe fine here, but I feel this method takes away some of the natural sounds of the wood. Is there an ideal system for flamenco guitar??

Fishman pro blend has both piezo under the saddle and a built in microphone that REALLY picks up the golpes, so if you play loud and don't mind the piezo string sound, then you can just use a bit of mic to get the golpes and attacks.
