Re: Neck humbucker
IME, the arguably "best" neck p'up is the Seth Lover.
An A2 modded Jazz neck is the most articulated.
Any A3, Paf-like neck p'up is not prone to mud.
Any neck p'up setup alright is not prone to mud.
HTH,

Without knowing the identity of the host instrument, it is difficult to say.
In the spirit that this thread appears to be intended, my vote goes to the Pearly Gates.

Re: Neck humbucker
for a guitar like that...
1st - Jazz
2nd - '59
both are even better with polished alnico 4 mags
if you are up for a DiMarzio, try the Humbucker From Hell

Get a good setup, then. Better done by a pro!
Barfuss p'ups are of the highest quality, so I'd say it's NOT the p'up...

The OP wants 'bright and clear', and PGN's are not that. Smooth and rounded on top with lots of mids.

If you think most duncan neck pickups are dark and muddy, you need to adjust the pickup. My favorite neck pickup is a '59n with an alnico 4 magnet. It's gets a sort of Steve Vai type tone, except slightly less thin.

Re: Neck humbucker
IMO, that would be the Jazz Neck. Sounds like a 59N but a little clearer and a little more sparkle up on top.
But my favorite, and the one I use, is the Pearly Gates Neck.
I play music similar to what you describe....but more blues & jazz.
