Re: Antiquities and hgh gain?
It will probably squeal. I would recommend a Dimarzio PAF or definitely a potted Bareknuckle Mule if you have the $$$.

Re: Antiquities and hgh gain?
It depends on what you are calling high gain.
I use Ants in my 58 reissue LP and have NO issues at all, now in terms of gain I run various pedals as boosters into smaller amp or often a Rangemaster clone into a pedal or into a cranked amp as well as various fuzz pedals and have no issues...
Ants are not like PAF's in the respect that they were made in a hurry with no reguards to the end result...Ants are wound tight enough that they don't squeel like you might think they do.
If you are curious there is a clip in the tips and clips room of me playing some guitar work on a cover of Eleanor Rigby...in the clip I used my Les Paul wiht Ants into a pair of small amps that were fairly loud and being slammed wiht a Fuzz Face...maybe not the high gain tone you had in mind but still a lot of gain and I had no issues with noise.
Also, in the clip during the verses you'll hear some clean parts...same guitar, same amps and same Fuzz Face just with the guitars volume rolled back...Ants have a beautiful clean tone as well as sounding great overdrive or in this case FUZZED out!
Here is a link if you are interested.

Because I have no experience with non potted pickups, and my amp will pump out a ton of gain... and I play hard rock... Just wanting to make sure that I don't drop large jack and can't use the pickups.

Don't have any Ant HBs (yet!) but I do have various P90s and Jaguar models. With high gain, the Ant P90 does that Neil Young Old Black filth. IMO, on a Fender Jaguar, microphonics are precisely what that guitar is all about. I make a feature of them a la Marc Ribot.
