Which humbucker is best suited to a Stratocaster?

I have a Rebel Yell with 2 Mothers Milks in a Rosewood neck strat and just ordered a Stormy Monday/Sultans set for a basswood/maple/ebony strat.  I like low output humbuckers in the bridge on a strat, and think that if you go with the Stormy Monday you will be pleasantly surprised.
So many pickups, so little time

I changed my mind. I think I will will be better to get a 2nd guitar for humbuckers in the future. Something Philly Q said and I think he's right...

I agree with you about the Stormy Monday (or similar), to me lower-output pickups sound too bright and thin in a Strat.

Crikey, don't take my word for it!  :wink:  

But I stand by the comment, from an entirely personal point of view of course.
