Need some advice on which pickup to choose.

Hi guys, can someone give me some insight in which pickup to choose?

The pickups would be fitted into a Jackson DXMG:
- Solid basswood Body
- Bolt-on maple neck
- Rosewood fingerboard
- JT580 double locking tremolo
- Amp: Blackstar HT-5

So the guitar currently runs two EMGHZ's which lack the punch I am looking for. I really want some pickups for trash metal, particularly early Megadeth and Metallica. I want pickups that can create that raw, aggressive tone. Was looking at the mircale man humbuckers, anyone got any other suggestions?

Alnico Nailbomb

This clip always blows me away

That's a ceramic Nailbomb in that clip

Also he's playing through that ENGL setup, which has a pretty insane sound in itself.

If it's early Megadeth and Metallica I'd try a Miracle Man as I think their sound was a bit warmer and smoother than the Nailbomb.
