best humbuckerpickup for my setup?

[elmark]

hi there and thanks for reading,

i got the following setup:

Ibanez SZ 320 Black to an Engl Powerball 100watt Amp + Engl Standard 4x12 cab.

i'm the only guitarplayer in the band, influences you can hear are at the drive-in, deftones, glassjaw, chevelle, tool, sparta, far etc. I like to take Radiohead as an influence too, especially when i play 'clean' with some delay, phase or chorus.

i'm still using my 2 ibanez humbuckers but now i'm checking out the seymour duncan bridge pickups. what should be my no1 choice for my influences, my playing style and offcourse my setup?

its important that my clean doesn't suffer in all the distortion mayhem, but probably this won't be too much of a problem.

hope to get some tips

Custom/59, I find that the SH-5 can do it all from Zep to Metallica and the SH-1 IMHO is the best neck p/u for most rock applications. This is a great combo, the Custom is very fat and smooth clean but down and dirty with hi-gain, the 59 is big and warm in all playing styles. Good luck on your choice.
