Dimarzio DP 182 has out put of 321 and the Seymore Duncan is 350 from what I could figure out on their respective websites.

Output???? It depends on what you mean. What any pickup does depends on the other items within the circut as well and what they are doing to the sound. And because something is loud does not mean good sound!!!!

They are both very hot pickups to the point where the only thing that would matter is which one is voiced to your preference over the other. I doubt either one would clean up very well with the volume rolled back.I had one of the original very old SD hot rails in a Tele and it sounded good but was limited because it was so hot.You really could not roll off and clean it up without dumping all the volume to get there.

I would recommend a milder mid output pickup for versatility and really sometimes less gain is more toneful. If the tone is better it just sounds as heavy as a high output pickup.Usually better.With everything available now days getting a high gain tone is easy even with regular output humbuckers.
my 2 cents
