Didn't they mostly all use stock Gibsons and Fenders? So... Mule, or Black Dog if you want hotter? I'm no expert, but seems like the way to go?

For grunge in a Strat I would probably get a Crawler
BLACK HAWKS
IMPULSES
COBRA-T
WAR PIGS
STOCKHOLM
COLD SWEATS
MIRACLE MAN
TRUE GRIT

I'm not too sure about that - tried a Crawler in my Showmaster superstrat and it wasn't exactly what I'd call "grunge" - far too thick in the mids and not enough bite in the higher frequencies. Could possibly try a VH2 or even an A-Bomb?

Supermassive HB-size has the rawness and power, but also the openness and attack.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

On second thoughts this pickup and the VHII seem like good options.  I guess I was mainly thinking of Soundgarden
