Neck single coil help needed

I'm going to put a neck single coil in one of my mutt builds.
I'm looking for a good all around single with a little "more" to it than a stock strat type single coil. The guitar I'm putting it in is VERY BRIGHT, with a snarly Randall XL series pickup in the bridge, so I want a pickup that can hang with the output of a fairly hot humbucker and help smooth out the sound.

What do you recommend? I'm looking at Duncans, but I am open to other suggestions as well.

If its a bright guitar, I'd use a Dimarzio Area '58, or, if it is super bright, *Maybe* even an Area '61, though I really hesitate to recommend that for the neck position, but if it's as bright as you say.......

Yeah, it's a really bright guitar. The body is Pine and Poplar, with a maple fingerboard.
