Trying to improve a cheap SG copy

[Bad Llama]

I have an Epiphone SG at home and I'd like to put some better pickups in it.

Are there any obvious choices? I'd like to spend less than £100 for both - is that about $190?

I play blues rock and jazz styles but I don't want anything too bassy.

The only original Gibson I have played in a gig was a friend's Les Paul and I hated the clean tone so I would like to stay away from that sort of sound.

Could I put P90s in?

PS Although I'm an experienced player I know little about techy stuff.

maybe the popular jb/jazz combo. or maybe a custom custom./ pearly gates combo.
for blues rock and jazz id go for a real versatile bridge pup ( jb, custom custom, 59, pearly gates ) with some more for jazz/ blues in the neck ( jazz, 59, pearly gates, aph-1) ... theres my 2 cents. sorry if it doesnt help you alot
