If you have a 3 pot control arrangement, I highly recommend using an EMG DG-20 set. I have it in my strat and it rocks.

How about Cool Rails/Vintage Rails/Hot Rails for n/m/b? Alternatively, if you don't want to go with rail-type pickups, you could also try a Lil' 59/Duckbuckers/Jb Jr. combo.

Either of those options should both give you more output and kill the noise, and best of all, more tone!
