From Fender I like the Texas Special.
From Fralin I like the Blues Special.

There are many more. Check the sound clips:

The Dimarzio Area XX pickups are really great and you have several sound options.
I'm actually using all three.
Area 76 Neck
Area 58 Middle
Area 61 Bridge
This is a great combination. If you want a clear crisp neck pickup the Area 67 is great. It can sound brittle in any other position, but you get a fat wide scooped sound in the neck.

I love the CS 69's, Fat 50's are a close second.

I have Texas Specials in my Strat and they sound amazing.
