As I understand the Fender Vintage Noiseless were the first noiseless design (still found in some new Fender teles). Then at some point came SCN Samarium Cobalt Noiseless. Then N3 Noiseless. And now the Gen 4 and the Ultra Noiseless Vintage Pickups are the latest.

What is the level of advancement between these? Which does what better such as cleans and distorted amp, or with pedals etc?

The first noiseless designs were the Fender-Lace Sensors available in the early 90s.
Fender severed their relationship with Lace and began making their own Noiseless designs.

Personally, I like the old Gold Lace Sensors.

There is a Wikipedia page about them here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Noiseless_Pickups

On this page it doesn't mention the Lace pickups, but Rich has already explained about them.
