Wanting a New Pickup (Humbucker) for my Big Apple Strat

I am wanting a new bridge pickup for my Fender Big Apple Strat. I plan on leaving the Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck. I typically play harder edged rock music (At the Drive In, Deftones, Nirvana, Pixies, etc...) I also have an LTD Guitar with EMG 81/85 so I'm not looking for an active pickups, just something with a more aggressive tone than the stock Pearly Gates.

These are what I am considering:
Seymour Duncan JB
Seymour Duncan Invader
Dimarzio Super Disortion

I am up for any ideas.

Thanks

You might want to try a Duncan Custom.

Get some dirty fingers pickups for that strat, it may have some destortion but other than that its just what your looking for...

I replaced the pups in my MIM double fat strat with a Seymour Duncan Classic '59 at the neck position and a Seymour Duncan SH-5 at the bridge...I love them!

here is my experience with these pickups in a strat.

i have the duncan distortion in my strat and its very crunchy and sharp which i like, but on clean its pretty harsh.

a friend of mine who i have known and played with for a long time has the invader in his strat. it has good punch and isnt too bad on clean but is pretty muddy.

the jb is more of a mellow pickup in comparison to the other two and would probably be more versitile.

any of them are good choices it just depends on what sound you are looking for.

hope this helps
