Guitar players:stratocaster pick-ups?

Please give me your thoughts on the following stratocaster pick-ups: standard, tex mex, etc. those of you who know know what pickups are available. I'm looking for the crunchiest and best sustaining available. The local guitar store has a seafoam green strat with the tex mex in it mim $500.........Are the texmex the ones to own?

Update:

I'm just not going a grand for a strat at that price there are too many others i would prefer......a straight mim is 399 and after market tex mex's are 200. I have no interest in a humber pickup in a strat. I know the seafoam is a rare color..

    that seems to be Fenders hot rod pick up, but as the guitar is only $500 the Mex comes into play if you know what I mean? MIM. now here's what a set of pick ups on s Strat are suppose to look like http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-... notice the humbucker.

    if you want grit, tex mex are the way to go, the coils are purposely overwound to give that effect
