Help choosing new bridge pickup

[b0ng0]

I am going to replace the bridge pickup on my guitar and I was wondering what would be the best for getting a metal sound (I play stuff like metallica, opeth, slayer).

I was thinking one of these: SH-5 Custom, SH-6 Distortion, SH-8 Invader, Full Shred, or Dimebucker.

I dont really know which one would be best, any help?

Distortion. But slayer and metallica use EMG's

Out of SD catalogue I've had good experiences with the SH-4 JB, but if I could choose any make for that kind of stuff I'd go straight EMG-81.
