PUPS for Frankenstrat.. Suggestions..

[loudriver23]

I read a post on the amp pages in regards to amps not being single coil friendly. I started thinking about my own gear Strat thru Mesa Mark IV sounding weak while my Ibanez 2 HB's sounds like I would expect and what I want.
I currently have some Fender Texas hots in the Neck and middle, with a JB Jr in the Bridge.

I've already realized that I'm not to happy with the JB in the bridge, so I am looking to make this guitar sound like a strat once and for all.

That said... should I go with some ant Surfers and keep messing with the Mesa to get the sound I'm looking for?
Or should I go with a higher output PUP like... say.... Quarter Pounders???

OR finally should I just hold out a bit longer and get the NEW SD Noisless PUPS?? I've heard some good things bout them..

PLEASE!!! Any and all suggestions welcome!
Thanks,
Loudriver

Well...Surfers and Texas hots are gret pickups...if you do a search there is lots of info and reviews on them, the QP's are not what I would call a classic Strat tone but they do have a good sound and they are hotter that any other single coil that I know of...that said the new Stack Pluses are great pickups and IMO are worth the wait if you are looking for a noiseless Strat pickup!
