*I have Juggernauts, and I do not like them, so please do not recommend them
The neck pickup needs to be fat and glassy, but with plenty of pick attack and dynamics
The bridge needs to have muscle, punch, ****snarl and percussion (most important) and clarity to spare
What should I go with?

What is the guitar that these pickups are going in?

There should be something wrong... everybody likes Juggs

HAHAHA, I love Juggs but with what the OP is saying, A-PIG, C-Bomb, A-bomb, or C-Pig all will sound better, depending on the tonality of his guitars and his amp (s).

What about Painkiller neck and Cold Sweat bridge?
-
Painkiller will have clarity and punch. Also, Rebel Yell has even more clarity and punch.
Warpig will be dark and gutteral.
Nailbomb will have snarl.
I really like the Painkiller in darker guitars. It has more of an upper mid focus than the Jugg. But really, you don't find Juggs to be muscular with clarity and punch? Granted, they don't snarl so much and they are bit polite, but what is it exactly that you don't like and want improved? This should provide a great starting point.

I want more snarl, bite, and gnarlyness. The juggs are a bit too smooth for me. Going for something akin to the Alpha/ Omega set style of pickups

I would say you`ll be happy with Cold Sweat bridge, maybe the whole set even. When it comes to neck pickup I instantly thought VHII but apparently Jugg neck is based on VHII so we probably have to score that out.
CS set?

Yeah, I like a lot of pick attack and bite, yet glassiness and fatness out of my neck pickup

A bomb or C bomb bridge. So much hair, rasp, snarl, and attitude.
-
I would go for the warpig, in my experience nailbombs love a few guitars and sound like shitee in most others

I can concur that the Cold Sweat is indeed very nice, with a strong pick attack
-
So coldsweat/ painkiller?

This is likely the case but I really don't know how the OPs guitars sound so it is difficult to advise. I was thinking the C-Bomb would be more appropriate for what he wants.
If his guitars are brighter, the Warpig would sound epic.
As for snarl and attitude, a Juggerset through a ReVv Generator 120 has tonnes of snarl, aggression, and attitude. Good fun ^_^

So coldsweat/ painkiller?
Do you mean a Painkiller neck with a Cold Sweat bridge? I really don't know enough about the Painkiller neck to be able to say if that's a good idea or not.
Generally for a Cold Sweat bridge I would recommend either the Cold Sweat neck or a Holy Diver neck if you want a brighter neck pickup
-
Sounds like he is thinking painkiller bridge and CS neck.

CS/PK looks live a well tested combo, that pairing is quite popular to be honest.
I ordered a Cold Sweat bridge with VHII neck a week ago, still waiting for post, but CS/PK is more famous though
