Which BKP is the most commercial ?

Mule the all rounder......with the right amp 8)

When BKP first appeared - the models that you saw first were the Warpig, Mule and Miracle Man (Tim played in a Sabbath/ Ozzy tribute band at the time so I'm sure took a personal interest in those models for that reason.)
The Nailbomb was a good seller when it emerged about 1-2 years later but if I had to choose the pickup that epitomises BKP it probably would be a toss up between the Warpig and Mule.

The pickup I fit most often is either the Mule or the Cold Sweat it would seem.

The Nailbomb and the Warpig are both great pickups; my only problem was that I put them in the wrong guitars (one was too middy for the NB and the other was too dark for the WP).  I put the Nailbombs in the dark guitar and now I just need to find a brighter guitar for the Warpigs.

The Cold Sweat and Stockholm were perfect for what I fitted them into.

BKP don't make any bad pickups; people just put them in the wrong guitars sometimes!

Very true what you said Agent Orange

I trued a few nailbombs in mahogany guitars and FOR ME they didn't work and I feared hat I really didn't like the Nailbomb -
However we fitted some to ash bodied guitars and other Fender types and I found the sound was really good.

In the mahogany it just had too many low mids and sounded muddy - whilst in the more hollow sounding timbers it rocked.

So I'm glad that I got a chance to reevaluate that pickup and it reminds me that sometimes you just have to trial a few in real life to see what works  for you.

The A-bomb is actually the brightest pickup I've had in my Korina Explorer.  The first, and darkest, was a Mighty Mite Motherbucker, a very hot pickup but cheap and compressed sounding.  The next was an A-Pig, which was much more open, a bit brighter and much more articulate but still too dark for that guitar. Finally I took the A-Bomb which didn't work in my SG and tried it in the Explorer and it really brightened the guitar up, without having the overbearing middiness that it had in the SG, I guess because it was so dark.  I'm sure it sounds very different to how it might sound in ash, but it is perfect for the hardcore stuff I play.

I will try the Warpigs out in my SG next time I change strings on that, and if I like it I will eventually get another SG and put the Warpigs in that.  I'm sticking with the Cold Sweats for my cherry SG Standard, but I'm curious to see whether they would work in another SG, maybe a Special.  They are uncovered so they would look odd in a Standard.

I have an esp horizon which is dark too , even though it has an alder body maple neck and ebony fretboard . So I am planning to put a rebel yell or a cold sweet to brighten a bit . Vh2 I have now is bright but not so tight . To be honest I thought that the rebel yell is the flag pickup of the company ...

 I think it was the nailbomb or mule... maybe easier to pick the flagship model from each vintage
