i'm quite a fan of the Phat Cat in the neck 
with reference to your music preference, a Duncan '59 bridge would be a good consideration. this humbucker would keep up with the Phat Cat's clean performance & adapts to calssic rock's dirt well.

Duncan pickups are available @ Davis. please check availability/ price before you make your way there because stock is a little slow in the mean time (US festive season).

i've had both the Duncan Phat Cat and Gibson P94 sets. the Phat Cats are cheaper but sounded much better (to me) than the P94s.
by the way, i think the best match for the Phat Cat neck pup is the Phat Cat bridge pup
if you HAVE to have a humbucker in the bridge though, its best (sonically) to match the alnico 2 magnet of the Phat Cat with an alnico 2 magnet humbucker.
eg. the Duncan Alnico Pro II (low output), Pearly Gates (medium output), or Custom Custom (high output).
a good place to order Duncans online is from http://www.lewsguitars.com/
i've bought from them several times. best prices/service on the net for Duncan pickups.

shipping is fast and they're reliable.
play around on their online shop and add stuff and you'll see the shipping cost depending on what shipping mode you choose. I always do that when I shop online.
cool!!! but.. wat is "MAP" price??
I'm thinking of putting either:
1) the seth lover on the bridge... coz i like the sound.. i used to have a set and now i missed them...
2) I'm also thinking of putting the stag mag SH3 too... coz i play through PA most of the time with my GT2 and I realised single coil is more responsive to PA but I also wanted the humbucker tone when i drive it... So I'm splitting the coil if it is a SH3... or any recommendation still? something more versatile I should say...
Thanks for all the advices so far!

that Screamin' Demon has that wicked lower midrange which sound very raspy to many who aren't into midrange refinements. but i love it
