Which neck Pick-up?

I have an AS Tele with a set of Fred Stewart black guards. I love the bridge PU, but don't care for the neck. I've tried adjusting it until I'm blue in the face and just can't get the sound I want. The notes just don't seem to have good sustain and overall it just sounds pretty lifeless in my rig.

Anyhow, I guess like everyone else I'd like to get some clarity out of my neck PU and good sustain. I play allot of rhythm so I need a good clarity and note separation. The best way to describe what I'm looking for is a sweet and detailed sound. It would be great if there was a noiseless PU that would match up well with my bridge and have the sound I'm looking for.

Thanks.

BTW, I primarily play through my Gibson amp using a Celestion Blue Dog ceramic speaker. The neck PU actually works pretty well through my brighter amp's, but this is my primary amp so I need a good match for it.
