Jazz singles in parallel 500k or 250k vol pot ?

It depends on the tone you want. But the pickups in parallel won't change much - it's just like having a switch in the centre position and a single master volume pot so I'd stick with 250k. You're just not having a switch in there.

500k (and in some cases 1 meg) are usually used with humbuckers to combat the slightly duller tone they have.
IF you were wiring them in [u]series[/u] you would usually lose a bit of the treble and potentially (see what i did there?) want a higher value pot like a 500k - as you're essentially doing the same thing as making a single humbucker out of the two pickups in that scenario.
