Pickup suggestions for an Ibanez S

Hey guys, I've got myself an Ibanez S. It's loaded with Evos at the moment, which I really just do not like at all. Too sizzly and not fat enough. My first thought was a BKP Holy Diver, but since that's out of my price range at the moment, I've turned to Duncan.

This guitar is in standard and I use it for stuff kind of along the lines of Jason Becker/Guthrie Govan/CHON, so very lead oriented music. I'm looking for a singing lead tone and a good fat rhythm tone that will clean up decently well. Looking at a Pegasus and the Perpetual Burn from Duncan.

Also, any word on what the Suhr Aldrich and SSH+ are like?

If you play Becker, why not use the Perpetual Burn pickup!

I was considering the PB, actually. Just not certain on whether it's what I'm looking for or not.
 
Re: Pickup suggestions for an Ibanez S

Which exact Ibanez model do you have? The body wood and bridge type may influence pickup suggestions.

S970. Very thin Mahogany body (similar mass to an SG, I guess), ZR trem (Floyd Rose, basically).
