I would have said the Aftermath, until you put Doom Riffage, in which case the Warpig :)

I'd say Aftermath but it's not really a style I play.
BKP owned:

Bridge - Emerald; Cold Sweat; Crawler; A-Bomb; Holydiver; Miracle Man; Sinner; Trilogy Suite

Neck - Emerald; Cold Sweat; Crawler; Holydiver; Sinner; Trilogy Suite

definitely NOT the aftermath
it sucks out a lot of bass from the lowest string and that's quite UNdoomy
I love the miracle man in B

I want to say Stockholm because of the low end definition of P90s and the modern voicing of the SH. This goes especially for a naturally middy guitar. For doom a Pig90 would also be something to consider as a Warpig with a different bottom definition and overall agression. Could work amazingly and let you stick out just in the right way.

I just know that the Stockholm in my modern LP style can deal with drop A# in In Flames style or one step up for Machine Head well. Defined yet raw agression. I have yet to find a better modern metal pub for me than this. It is just so alive and angry...if you want it to.

All good suggestions! I would also add the Black Dog because you seem to see a lot of people with them in baritone and extended range guitars (I play 7-strings and love my Black Dog).
Bridge: (A)Pig, HD, Jugg, PK, (A)NB, Crawler, Aftermath, RY, Abraxas, Emerald, BD, VHII, RR, Cobra, Sinner, Trilogy, Stockholm, Supermassive.
Neck: IT, SM, CS, Trilogy, Emerald, Cobra, Blue note.
