Opinions Please

So I'm going to put a set of humbuckers into my 2006 MIA 60th strat. I was going to go with my Super-D in the bridge and a Paf pro in the neck but I thought I'd throw this out for some feedback. I want to use the guitar for classic/hard rock, blues/rock and possibly some old school metal here and there.

Here are my choices:

Super-D (bridge)/PAF Pro (neck)

Custom Shop Overwound 59 (bridge)/PG (Neck)

498t/496R

JS Moore custom winds A4 bridge 42 guage 8.8K/ A3 Neck 42 Gauge 7.3K

Looking for suggestions/opinions and why you think so.
 
Re: Opinions Please

what woods are your strat?

the Super Distortion/PAF Pro combo is excellent with the usual strat woods (Alder, Maple) and the 25.5" scale. The Super D is pretty versatile, as is the PAF Pro, and their respective outputs complement each other well. Both are pretty fat sounding, Super D is crunchy, and PAF Pro is pretty warm, can be a bit too warm sometimes, but that can be sorted out by adjusting the polepieces.

I'm getting good Classic Rock/Blues tones out of my modified 1995 Alder/rosewood Am Std Strat. This has Red-Gold-Blue Fender-Lace Sensors and Callaham block and saddle mods. Together, these go a long way to making switch positions 2 and 4 believable.

The bridge sensor is actually a Red/Blue Dually. My desire is to employ a DPDT switch to allow the blue half of the Dually to be combined in series with either the neck or bridge sensor for Brian May type tones.

Yeah my strat is your typical alder/maple. I figured it was time to turn one of them into a humbucker equipped machine and the dimarzio's were the ones that came to mind first off.
