About the only measure we have is the DC Resistance.
Magnet strength also plays a big role, but the pickup makers don't give any measures of that, unfortunately.

Any singlecoil AlNiCo pup with DCR less than 6.0K Ohms is low-output.
Pups with ceramic magnets tend to be higher output even if the DCR if fairly low because of increased magnet strength.
