Pot values are usually determined by the DC resistance of the pickups; 6-7k (most single coils) use 250k pots; 6-string humbuckers (8-9k) and some steels with controls generally use 500k pots; with 20k steel pickups I'd use 1 meg pots (all audio, not linear taper - and some Fenders with 6-7k pickups have either 500k or 1 meg pots). But you can mix and match - you'll get a different feel on the controls and a slower or faster adjustment; plus slightly more highs (depending on the pickups this can be a good or REALLY bad thing) with higher-impedance pots.
