what would you put in a HSH strat?

[RockNRoling]

I need some recomendations from you all if you got a second. My usa strat has 2 hot noiseless in the neck and middle and a Fender/Seymour Pearly Gates Plus in the bridge slot. I like the feel of strats better than les pauls but I really miss that full neck humbucker sound. I have been toying with getting another pearly gates plus for the neck and I have also been mulling over getting a full set of Rio Grande Muy Grandes (HSH) but that is a lot of money for a pickup I have never heard in person.

Is there anything I have overlooked??????????

I play some Jimmy Eat World, Matchbox 20, 3 Doors Down type stuff through a mesa Nomad 2x12, so nothing too extreme.

THANKS GUYS!

I'd go with a regular Pearly Gates neck and install a switch or push/pull pot to split it into a single coil when you want it sound like a single coil. There is no neck Pearly Gates plus...that's a bridge only pickup. It's just a stock Pearly Gates bridge pickup with an alnico 5 magnet instead of the usual alnico 2 used in the PG.

The stock alnico 2 PGn is my favorite neck humbucker...go for that model.
