What pickups sound interesting to you but you have yet to try?

[Artie]

I had a triple Duckbucker strat, but I think a VR would be even better.

Duck's let you tweak a string. VR's let you bend a string. Although I doubt anyone would hear the difference.

Still, though, my favorite hum-cancelling Strat pickup is the Classic Stack, which sounds better (to me) than either the Duck or VR. They are really low output, so unless you are going for a very specific vintage-type sound and response, they wouldn't be my first choices. But I never really go for those vintagey sounds.

Yup. One of my favorite Strats has STK-4's in the N/M, with either a 6 or 9 in the bridge.

(I should open her up and remind myself.)

Zephyr, especially the hummelbuckers.

But I have never seen them come up used.

the neck zephyr humbucker was the big winner when i tried em all. clear, defined, with great note definition under gain.
