I'm going to be doing a daphne blue strat circa 62. I have some fat 50s pickups, custom shop 69s, texas specials, and american vintage pickups. Which of those would sound the most period correct for an early 60s pre cbs strat? Or should I go with something else?

I vote:

american vintage pickups

Or, get a set of 57/62's, they are VERY good 'ol Strat quack & chime.

I'd go with Fat 50s or Fender's 57/62s, depending on specifically which vintage sound of that genre you wanted. The Fat 50s would be the sweeter of the two whereas the 57/62s would be the more cutting of the two. The rest of the pickups you've mentioned are not appropriate at all.
