Getting ready to switch pu's in multiple guitars, looking for some suggestions.

Hi everyone So as the title says I'm getting ready to switch out pu's. I have 4 different guitars that I'm going to be changing pu's in. As for pu's I just got a set of WLH set, I have a set of pearly gates jazz and custom hybrids, a pearly gates set and a 59/jazz neck pu still need to buy a 59b pu to make a 59/custom. The guitars I'm going to be working on are an Edwards LP, PRS se tremonti custom with trem that I should have by the end of the month, a DG-335 copy and a Schecter Solo 6.
My Edwards LP is getting the WLH set (always wanted a set of the WLH once I heard of them a several years back). So I'm looking for suggestions of which of my other pu's should go with which one of my other guitars? My playing style is more classic rock and mainly rhythm ranging from chuck berry to Tool and a little bit of chevelle type music at the extreme end. I'm not a shredder or lead player. I'm thinking of using the Schecter Solo6 for the heavy styles of music and was thinking I should put my pearly gates jazz and custom hybrid in it but I'm not sure. What do you guys think????? Which one of my other pu sets would you put in my other guitars???

P.S. I'm not looking to have to go out buy new pu's so please don't recommend different pu's unless you truly thinks its a better suit.
Also as for my rig I play though amt preamp pedals through a boss gt 10 for effects into my rocktron velocity 300 power amp in to two 2x12 cabs both with gt-75 and v-30's.

Looking forward to what you guy think and have to say.

I'd go with the Pearly Gates set on the 335 copy.
Use the Pealy Gates/Custom Hybrids in the PRS Tremonti.
For the Schecter, a 59/Jazz neck and a 59/Custom Hybrid bridge. This will give you a great arrangement of classic and modern sounds from those 4 guitars.

Thanks for the suggestion Mincer.
I guess it would be better to have a little hotter pu in front of a trem, or does that matter?

I don't know if that matters. Although with a Trembucker, the poles will be spaced correctly. It might not matter with a hot enough pickup, though.
