It all depends on what kind of music you want to play. Rock? Metal? Probably some kind of humbuckers. Lots of people say EMG. The issue with that is that they are active pickups. So you need a spot in the guitar for a 9 volt battery plus the wiring necessary to hook them up. Passive humbuckers are much easier to put into a guitar. But again it depends on the guitar. Is there room for them or does the body need modification? Lots of variables. What ind of guitar? For blues?Maybe a strat with vintage noiseless. Much more info is needed to make an intelligent choice.
However, if you are looking to buy a guitar, then buy it with the pickups you want installed. Makes life way easier.
