Jackson DXMG needs a set of Duncans...

so i bought a jackson DXMG Dinky during summer and i'm still undecided about the pups to go in it. Somehow i'm not seeing a set of EMGs in this guitar so i it's gonna be Duncans.
It's alder with maple neck and a lo-pro floyd so it's relatively bright.
my other duncan axes are both mahogony B.C Riches tuned to c and b equipped with a dimebucker/full shred combo.
I want to keep the jackson in standard tuning but it should sound heavy without being muddy. I want this guitar to give both crushing rhythm and smooth lead tone so i thought about something like Invader(never had one but heard that it'd sound great in alder)in the bridge/Full Shred neck(it just makes a great lead pup imo).
so with this info you might know what i'm after for this guitar and might have suggestions or some infos.
Most critical requirements: keep it passive this time and try to keep it as far away from the mud as possible ;)

edit: i nearly forgot to say that this will be a metal guitar so there's not a big need for great cleans. Distortion is what matters ;)

Ya i have the Invader in mine and it sounds great! Its really nice... and even though you dont want to detune it, it still retains clarity in mine. Also I LOVE the leads, very smooth.

Its not muddy at all... and Full shred i hear is a good choice although I am putting a Jazz in mine.

BUT anyways basically mine never gets muddy, and it will be quite heavy while in standard too.

cool as hell but still equipped with the EMg HZs and i think they suck.
