For Classic rock the Alnico 2 Pro is an excellent choice. I just installed one in the neck of my Ibanez AX320 (an SG copy) and I love it. I like it so much I'm now rethinking my decission to put a Custom Custom in the bridge. But any of the Vintage humbuckers (59, pearly gates, seth lover) would be a good choice as well.
For the Strat the 69's are a fine choice too. I've played a couple of strats with these and they have a good vintage tone. Another good choice would be the Dimarzio Virtual 2 set. I had the chance to play one of these and I was quite impressed with the tone and to top it off they are hum canceling. My final reccomendation would be my personal favorites, the Duncan Five-Two. I just don't think that there is a better single coil available for a vintage tone with good balance.

If you like Slash's tone, then I don't see how you could go wrong with your choice of the Alnico 2 Pros.
Wouldn't be my first choice for my only guitar, but if I had more than three humbucker guitars I'd use those in #5.
( I'd use Antiquities in #4...if I still had a #4! I sold almost all of my humbucker guitars over the past year...all nice Hamers. Just wasn't playing them. )
