I am looking to upgrade from my expression pedal to a diy hi hat controller. I have two different builds in mind one uses a potentiometer and one uses an FSR. Which offers more realism?

I am converting a LV cymbal to electric compatible with edrum in and I am trying to figure out how to make the cymbal choke. From my understanding you can get a third articulation on one stereo jack by shorting the ring with the ground. Would I be able to use this for my choke? So bow piezo is conne...
