Don't tell anybody, but I just bought a full set of S45s for a special experiment with active electronics. I don't think I've seen anything along the lines of what I'm doing anywhere on the internet. More to follow in later weeks.

I'll try not to tell anyone

I don't have favorites, just the two I have in guitars I own: Black Winter neck and Sentient. They're both fabulous in different ways. The BW-N is so incredibly versatile, with excellent harmonics and thick mids, and can do metal leads as well as blues, rock, and pop. Throw some delay and chorus on there and you can produce psychedelic sounds. High-output neck pickup that also splits well. The Sentient has that vintage resistance, and its tones are more scooped, but holy heck, you can get some sparkling cleans, and it handles classic rock lead tone like a dream for me.

I love the LIL 59 in my Charvel Model 3dr a ton! I have an MJ wound Alnico II pro in my 1988 Les Paul custom of the same vintage as the guitar and that could be my all time favorite neck pickup. big bluesy tone and goes well with any bridge pickup you put in there. With that said, i have a lydia daniels mid 80s vintage Jazz in another les paul and I have been very impressed by it. I had a recent Jazz in an Epiphone LP custom and was not impressed at all but this one is really doing it for me in that guitar. The PATB1N is also an amazing neck pickup, especially in 24 fret guitars. Same goes with the Full Shred Neck-very articulate and can totally shred (no pun intended) when you want it to.

Not a shredder.

I like the classic PAFs. Seths, Antiquitys, Gibson Classic '57, Gibson A2 Burstbucker 1, Ibanez Super '58s. All good. (Don't have Pearlys, but I'm sure they'd be good, too.)

Oh, I forgot. An RCA4 Distortion neck pickup, wired in parallel.

If we are only talking about full-sized humbuckers, then it's the Seth Neck. I even like it in the bridge position sometimes.

That said, it's kind of tied with both the EJ Custom neck and the Bluesbucker. All outstanding, but all different. Seth is a humbucker in humbucker form. EJ Custom is a mini humbucker tone in full-sized humbucker form. Bluesbucker is a P-90 tone in full-sized humbucker form.
