I think the Holy Diver might be a viable option for all of those types of sound - I have the bridge version in my strat, and it is great for that 80s thing it's designed for (as you would expect) but it can also get to vintage Metallica (not tried the more modern stuff yet), Thin Lizzy works fine, as does Aerosmith...I'm not a huge AC/DC fan however, so I've not tried to get their sound - but I'm fairly optimistic that it would be able to if you wanted...
If you want only to play metal then the MM would definitely be the way to go, but a high output ceramic pickup is, to my mind, not what you want for the hard rock bands you mentioned.
The reason I picked the HD for my guitar was that I wanted something somewhere in the middle ground - I enjoy playing such a variety of music, I needed a pickup that wasn't too specialised, and I wasn't disappointed :drink: :lol:
