The Van Zandt blues strat pickup set is quite good, as are Rio Grande Muy Grande strat set. I have used both and got great results. A little hotter and in your face that your standard strat set.
Right now, I have a custom Bill Lawrence setup in my strat -- humbucker, single coil, soap bar -- and it does what I want and need. Though I am pretty much a tele guy and all my guitars are custom made for me. Been playing a long time -- usually blues/soul/R&B -- so I need a variety of tones.
