Summarizing the options are 2:
  • bridge Miracle Man, neck Nailbomb;
  • Nailbomb set.
I'm very undecided  :D
I know, I'm ballbreaker XD Last help!

The MM and NB are very different pickups; I'd have thought that would be an easy choice. Can you recap what youre after?

I don't understand this phrase...
However, I would a power, scooped and defined sound for rythm and a defined and equilibrated sound for leads and solos... I would to hear the attack of the notes!

(Nailbomb obviously with ceramic magnet)

the nailbomb neck is supposed to be hotter than a CS neck, which is a common combination with the miracle man (I don't think they match really well anyway)

I dunno about that. All depends on that guitar and the person thats gonna play em. Havng had the MM bridge and NB neck in different gutars, I dont recall any aspect of it that would present a problem. the middle position has a good chance of sounding really, really cool as well!

Why not?

i was just guessing, you know... bridge MM should be scooped (but i haven't got it yet so i just say what i heard on this forum), neck NB is bright and full of high mids... i'm not saying that they don't fit together, i just said they would be a strange couple...  :)

The only time I ever didnt get what Tim suggested was the only time I ever sent bare knuckles back. The ones he said to get in the first place ended up being my favourite.

Do what he says.
