S/S/H Strat Humbucker Suggestion

[Freshsteve]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a bridge humbucker in a Strat with 2 Hot Strat Single coils? I'm looking for a 60's classic rock/blues sound playing through a blackface amp getting my overdrive from the pedal and not so much the amp. Looking to match it output wise with the single coils if possible.

Thoughts?

You should probably a lil 59 in the neck, cool rails in the middle and a hot rails in the bridge.

I ordered mine with the nickel cover because it gives the pickup a slightly sweeter tone. Not as crisp, aggressive and sizzley.

I was thinking:

Custom Shop '78
Pearly Gates
Pro II
'59

All are med/vintage output. Think any would balance out with the 2 hot single coils?
