It actually depends on several things...

Body wood
Neck wood
Fingerboard wood
Neck pup
Bridge pup
Style of music you play
Pedals
Amp

I don’t like DuckBuckers, but do use little 59’s and also Little ScreamingDemon in modified Stratocasters I have
Ash body with Maple caps
Maple neck with maple fingerboard
JB neck in one 59 in the other
59 bridge in both
Old school rock, Jimi, Clapton, ZZ top, blues etc…
Too many pedals
Generally 22 watt amps using 6V6 tubes and 45 watt amps using KT-66 tubes - all with tube rectifiers, but also 11 Rack via PA (All depends on venue)

Duckbucker, the other positions have higher output pickups and the duck is as "stratty" as that guitar gets.

I'm a big fan of the stacked pickup, I'm using STK-S4's, STK-S6's and PA-STK1 pickups in the middle positions on my Stratocasters - I love them.
