What humbuckers for rock, in Gibson style guits

What humbucker pickups do you guys like for rock in Gibby type guits?

I've got a les paul copy and a hamer explorer type that could do with better pickups. What I like is nice full rich tones, no mud, good and powerful, but not into metal zones, at least not anything post-Maiden or Priest. More along Billy Gibbons, EVH territory.

I am aware of the classic combo of the seymour duncan JB in the bridge and the jazz in the neck. I'd like to try that out and see what kinda results I get. Also I have a GFS VEH bridge humbucker that I gotta try in something.
The pearly gates humbucker looks interesting.

Any input or suggestions? Thanks!

I have the SD Jazz neck and JB bridge in a Les Paul Custom and they sound great through any amp in any situation but for some reason that neck p/u is louder.

It balances out using the volume controls on the guitar but sometimes I wish the bridge had a bit more guts anyways.

For rock not quite Iron Maiden, Gibby Classic57 are nice.
Burstbuckers, a tad hot

Burst buckets are my fav...I have 3 LPs...two with 57's, which are great sounding pups ...but the Burstbuckers in my 57 ri black beauty are KILLER pickups.

I have a set of Bareknuckle "Crawler" in my SG, Love 'em to bits, a lot more punchy that the 490T and 490R stock set-up. Also more string definition IMHO.
