I almost always get the most expensive doohicky I can find. I hate being disappointed worse than anything. I'm sure there are good PIDs and cheap PIDs, and they aren't one in the same. 
Now that I see your plan with the ceramic wire holders, I have an observation for you, Mr. Jan.
I'm not a naysayer, but it seems like the heat from the wire between the ceramic and the brick has nowhere to go. Like the wire between the ceramic and the brick could get significantly hotter than on the open side.
Do you think uneven wire temp could be problematic, especially since the wire isn't exactly free to move around?
I am certainly no authority on the subject, but have you seen this type of ceramic wire fixture used like this somewhere else? Hopefully you've seen this in a really well engineered kiln.
Wishing only the best, of course.
