I've got A-bombs in 2 Les Pauls and I bloody love them. Slartibartfast is probably right that they react differently in different guitars, though I do get the distinct impression that if it were up to him no one would order a Nailbomb again haha 
In my experience they are versatile and would fit your needs well in your guitar.
Surprisingly, I have actually suggested an A-Bomb in a few threads since I had mine. I may not be as fullsome in its praise as some people but what can you expect? Reading reviews etc. is all very well and good and I do take that into consideration but ultimately, I have to largely rely on my own direct experience. Based on that, there is no way I'd suggest putting an A-Bomb in anything maple or alder but I really can see it working in a Les Paul; so much so that I've been sorely tempted to try one again in my V100. I think most pickups seem to favour certain guitars and some more than others. The Holydiver and Abraxas seem quite flexible but others, like in my opinion the A-Bomb, can be quite picky. I didn't find it in any way versatile but I stress again, that was only in my particular guitar. In an all mahogany Les Paul, I imagine it would be far more versatile because my direct experience of it suggested that it needed more lows in the guitar to balance out the natural preponderance of high mids in the pickup. Horses for courses :D
