My mules ended up in a custom gibbo, they are just such a tight package that way, and youll get such a huge tone, trashing mids and endless sustain. The clean has a perfect PAF signature, i have the bridge setup that it screams full out and i can just roll back the tone a bit for a perfectly balanced clean, mine are unpotted though. The neck is my clean to dirty lead tone, i switch to bridge lead at high gain settings, there is just so much articulation and dynamics there you just keep playing for hours.
One tip i think anyone should try out seriously with mules on high gain amps, boost the signal to amp a bit with an OD or distortion, its like tossing your meal in a deep PHAT fryer.
Still, if you ask me what kind of music makes the Mules really shine, it is really a more comtemporary blues or jazz/fusion style, with just a bit of nastyness to the tone.
Then there is offcourse the big advantage you have from the clarity gain you get from the mules, especially when recording or when you play trough heaps of effect(especially those tone sucking digital ones) it will really take the blanket off your sound.
Just too much coolness not to try them really, something i like to add also is that Tim makes a wonderfull low noise unpotted but covered mule which is wax sealed under the cover to prevent micophonics, mine are way more feedback proof than the gibson stock pickups i had in the custom before the mules.
PS. You can save yourself some time and put them in the Gibbo right away Machinehead
