There are literally hundreds of pickups that will work in your Strat. Some sound better than the stock ones others dont. Fralins are my favorites. But there are also lots of other good ones too choose from.

Usually but not always if you buy a more expensive guitar it will have better pickups stock so they dont need replacing. You can also experiment with pickup heights and string brands which can make a huge diffference in sound before you decide to buy a whole new set.
