Which of these setups is warmer, has better and bigger bass, as well as best at bucking feedback?

(I) APH-1 Alnico II Pro in the neck and SHPG-1b Pearly Gates in the bridge
(II) SH-55 Seth Lover in both the neck and bridge

Also, does anyone know how a LW-HMET Livewire Metal Humbucker would sound on a large full hollow body guitar? The Bass 7 / Mid 9/ Treble 5 sound great (to me) on-line. If you put the LW-HMET at the Bridge what would be compatible at the neck for a clean, mellow, warm sound?

I can hear it in my head, but I don't know how to get it out of the guitar (yet)!

anything compared to the LWHMET would be mellow sounding, if you were seriously going that way, I'd get the blackout metal and set it in the low output position, they would be feedback-city in a hollowbody at normal output.

I am not sure they would be feedback city or not but, the LWHMET easily has double the output of any pickup on the planet! Easily!

Not having tried the pickups, I'd have to say A2P/PG based on the values on the tone comparison chart.

Thanks. I'm getting the pickups put in this week. I'll let you know how it goes.
