I am in a band that mostly plays old school thrash. I mostly play rhythm, but sometimes I play lead as well. Lots of complex rhythm low register rhythms. I don't tune down, maybe sometimes I go Eb, but not lower.
My guitar is a singlecut mahogany ( no top ), ebony fretboard, maple set-in neck.
I put the pickups I had in it in another guitar, and have heard a lot of good things about BKP so might as well.

Cold Sweat.
Maybe a ceramic Nailomb if you want something 'hairier' sounding in the bridge, with a Cold Sweat neck.
The Cold Sweat bridge is nice and tight, cuts through well and is well suited to both standard and low tunings.
I have a CS set and I've found it to be a big improvement on the alnico Nailbomb, which I found to be more hardcore in character, although this makes it good for Sepultura and it was nice for Possessed.
The CS I think is much more versatile. If you want a middle ground between the A-Bomb and the CS, go for the C-Bomb, as I said above. There is a post here in a recent thread of someone playing Slayer on a C-Bomb in a Les Paul through an Engl amp, sounds pretty great.

Sounds like exactly what I want from a bridge pickup so id say the nailbomb.

CBomb is GREAT for thrash

My first thought when you said all mahogany was an A-Bomb so I'm going to stick with that. My close second choice would be the C-Bomb because it's less middy and the maple neck will be giving you some high mids. Both are ideal for Thrash.

once maple neck will brighten the overall sound, you`ll be happy with CBomb, in all mahogany body/neck CBomb is quite dark and little bassy sounding, but not dramatically.
