Best pickups for my guitar?

[Christmas.tree]

I have just ordered an Agile AL-3100 MC, and I was wondering what type of pickups I should swap in.
I've heard the stock ones are decent, but could use improvement.
I play mostly rock from the 70's up to the 90's... think ZZ Top, Van Halen, AC/DC, etc.
I was thinking about a PG in the neck and a '59 in the bridge, but I'm not really sure.
Any ideas?

id go with a pearly gates set. billy gibbons, eddie van halen, and angus young tones are all bridge pup and the pg will do better than the 59 with the right amp.

You might want something slightly hotter than the pg bridge for van halen, depending on the album/your amp. That's my experience, though I love my pg and play van halen with it anyway It would be obviously perfect for zz top and good for acdc

Just a suggestion, maybe play the guitar before thinking about swapping the pickups? You may be pleasantly surprised and if not, you can say it needs more "___" to get the tone you are after. Best of luck!
