Need some advise on matching of pickups.

Mixing of alnico and ceramic magnets recommended?

Like dimarzio Tonezone in bridge and Evolution in neck.
 
if it suits your needs, anything/ everything will do. there's no 'çorrect' formula in this case. i enjoy the following PU combination despite its output disparity/ character difference:

*Duncan Invader + Duncan '59

*Dimarzio Tone Zone + PAF
 
Ceramics are used for overwound pickups so it will churn out the high end.
So if you want a hot pup without the mud ...then go for ceramics 8)
 
there are several factors contributing to ill-definition (muddiness) other than inherent pickup construction. as far as Duncan is concerned, you'd get better drive definition with a medium/ low ouput models in the middle position, namely:

*Custom staggered
*Alnico II Pro
