Replacement pickup suggestions?

I've had my american deluxe telecaster for 2 months now and I love everything about the guitar except the pickups. I play blues and classic rock mainly, but also modern indie, country ,funk and jazz. The n3 noiseless pickups don't have enough output for my needs.

I'm seriously considering a mini humbucker in the neck and a hotter bridge pickup also. I've got that "keef" bridge rhythm sound in mind.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as I know next to nothing on the subject. This is my first post. I'm leaning towards lollar at the moment.

Amp: Fender drri reissue
Pedals: Keeley comp, Xotic ac, bb and ep, fulltone clyde deluxe wah, tc nova delay.

I have a fender 52 avri pup that can get that keef sound with some dirt. Nocaster might work for you too.

As your in the UK, I would suggest a set of Bare Knuckle Piledrivers. I got a set in my Baja tele and they are great. I too play blues and classic Rock, and these hot pickups are ideal. Check out the Bare Knuckle web site. The sound clips are rubbish, but the guy who runs the business Tim, is a realy helpfull guy and knows his stuff, give him a ring or e-mail him.

Thanks everyone for advice and suggestions. I've decided on the sm1 mini humbucker for the neck and between the broadcaster and nocaster for the bridge.
