Les Paul pickup torn between 2 for the bridge

It's a 2008 Studio in solid satin finished mahogany with a rosewood board we have at the shop. Tuners were broken when another guitar fell on it so did the repair but also has a bad neck pickup. No beauty queen but guitar is in great shape is non chambered but light for a Paul and is speaking to me so I'm thinking on buying her. Have a PG neck on hand so that's pretty set in stone if I do snag it. Torn between 2 bridge choices a Perpetual Burn or a 59 Custom hybrid. Own one of both but they are in much different guitars so how they will really sound in an all mahogany studio is a ? Both are big fat mid output buckers but have very different vibes. 59 /Custom is brighter clearer with a real pissed off PAF vibe on steroids the Perpet more modern more compressed and aggressive but still has a sweetness and clarity I really like. Always though both would sound killer in a Les Paul but have never heard ether in that setting.
If you have opinions guys lets hear um!

In a Les Paul I pretty much will always vote for the more open sounding options and save the hot compressed stuff for a guitar where it'll matter less what the quality of build and lumber is.
