If the Thunderbolt ist most sensitive to the -12V input, why not use
something like the LT3090? Its temperature coefficient is quite low
in the order of a few ppm/°C around room temperature. Using a metal
film resistor that should keep the output variations low as well.
As added bonus, you get a very low output noise.

And while you are at it, use three LT3090 for the positive supplies :-)
