I have decided to look for the best clean sound from my neck pickup alone. so far i have considered PG and AII pro. i have tried the jazz already, and currently have a 59/a5 and have tried that with a2. i am still not quite satisfied. i have a JB that i thought about using in the neck split.

Well the PG and the AII pro have that vintage bluesy sound.
You could go with using a 57 or a BB Pro, but both of 'em cost more than $100.
People say that using an EMG 60 on the neck has a great clean sound. Yea actives r supposedly good for cleans.
And you could also go with Dimarzio's 'Bucker from Hell. It's $70 bucks.
It is all up to you

I don't care much for the Burstbucker Pro pickups in the bridge position, but in the neck they are very, very smooth....

Get an A4 magnet in that '59 and adjust a bit the EQ of your amp.
Problem solved!

The DMz Bluesbucker is very good in a LP neck.
You should be checking out used PU's online, as they usually go for about half price.

The A4 helps a lot: smoothes out a boomy low E strings and pushes the mids a little bit. The best sides of an A5 and a A2.
Btw: i recently tried some degaussed A5. These shave off the excessing higs of the full A5, but leaves the boomy bass untouched. I made it even worse in the neck

To my ears, the PG neck in a LP is wrong. I don't like the sizzle and it fills in some bottom that the guitar already filled, leading to a weird low-mid push that I don't like and that can become mud central under the wrong conditions.
The APH1n can be lame. The APH1b is a great cutter in a LP's bridge but you wouldn't know it from the neck pickup.
The best one is the Antiquity, which has some extra sparkle and isn't boomy. Just shiny.
