Re: Best passive humbucker?
Too many...there's no real "type" I like either. I like them to sound different..but always with (at least) medium to high output. Variety is the spice of life..
Having said that..I'm pretty partial to my Lace Alumitone Deathbucker's & set of handwound Sin "7th Sin" alnico 4 pup's ..sweet tones!

first of all, there's no best of the best humbucker, there will always be one wich can do something better than other pickup.
that said, for what you want you have quite some options, it's just wich of the many tastes you preffer and if you're more comfortable boosting the gain, adding overdrives, playing with the vol or switching chanels.
if you're on the vintage paf flavour you can take a Pearly Gates Bridge, it will get you done easily, the only paf i can assure you can behave with good tone from the sweetiest ruddest blues to brütal metal if your amp has gain enough
the sh-6 Distortion is a solid choice, metal and punk are it's home and it has no problem doing classic rock
the JB will do too, it's sightly lower ouput than the distortion and has a singing voice compared to the grinding sound of the distortion
the Black Winter it's like a modern distortion, with a balanced tone, clearer mids and the same agression if not more

Re: Best passive humbucker?
I will dissent and go with the Custom, or Alternative 8. Bigger and bolder, with better lows than the Distortion.
