Single coils to go with Duncan Custom

Hello there,
This is my first day so bear with me please.
I'm looking for some suggestions on which Duncan single coil pickups will match up good with my Duncan Custom humbucker.
The guitar is a Warmoth strat that I put together. Alder hardtail body, maple neck, rosewood board.
I play mostly hard rock, but I want this guitar to be able to switch gears to a nice bluesy sound.
Thanks

I think you might need to go with mini-humbuckers like the JB JR neck or Little 59 neck to get the output you need to balance with the full size Duncan Custom. Lew

I'm not really worried about the output difference between the humbucker and singles. I'm using a push/pull pot to tap the coil on the Custom. I'm also using 250k pots. (I like to get the full tone out of the singles)
I guess I'm looking for singles that will be similar in tone to the Custom when coil tapped.
Sorry, I should've made that more clear in my original post.
Thanks guys!
