Is a Duncan Distortin better suited for a les paul. Or what are some moderate to hot pickups that will jive with my paticular guitar?

Distortions work well with the LP, just as long as metal is the main thing you want to be playing. Clean is not a forte.

Wouldn't consider a Duncan Distortion if you're going for Page and Cantrell tones, but something slightly more vintagey and sleaker.
Screamin' Demon worked for me. DiMarzio Super Distortion sounded pretty rad to me too with a mahogany/ebony combo.

Like trevorus above, I'd go with the RS kit, and use the mini-switch as a coil tap. And for pickups, I'd try to choose between the WLH, Pearlys, Seths, Antiquitys, Gibson Burstbucker 1&2 or the Bonamassa sets. With Page being one of your heroes, the WLH set should do the job. If you go with too hot a humbucker, you'll lose the versatility inherent in that guitar.

Beautiful guitar! Congrats.
