cheapest? easiest? just leave the neck-PU where it is and don't use it 
sorry, I don't have any idea about filling pickup-cavities...........

Well dude, i wanna use a single Dimebucker and there is no point in having an EMG 85 in there for no reason, hence, filling it up.

Best way - Fill it with a solid piece of wood, glued in with wood glue, sand it level, fill any cracks with wood filler (minimal hopefully), sand it again and refinish the guitar.
Easiest way - Get some pickguard material, cut it slightly larger than the hole and screw it on. You could always airbrush a design on the cover too....or maybe a cool sticker would work if desired. If you're feeling really artistic, you could even cut the material in a shape, like a bat or something. But of course, just plain would suit the purpose - and be the easiest.
Cheapest way (my pick) - leave the neck pickup in it - or take out the EMG and throw in a cheapo humbucker. Any alterations will probably hurt the value of your guitar(s) if you ever decide to part with them. But that's up to you.

Yeah what I would do would be to take a cheap humbucker and just put it in the place of the 85. You don't have to hook it up.

just taking the neck pickup out and leaving an empty space there would be cheapest and easiest I would think
The empty space would also mean you could kill your sound instantly if you wanted to by flickling the switch. Adam Jomes of Tool does that.
Yeah, i would love a kill switch.
So, what you're saying is......
the wood way is the best....
Which is cool with me.
