The Apaches would certainly be a good call. There's very little you can't cover with them, and because of the sweetened midrange and top end from the AIII magnets, the bridge is very usable as a hard rock pickup. A baseplate on the bridge would, as metale says, increase the low end and power with very little effect on the voicing.
FWIW, the Irish Tours are essentially overwound Mother's Milks, so are actually darker in the top end.
