My Handmade PRS - Help me to choose pickups

[Bluws]

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the ideal pickup combo for my HSH PRS-style handmade guitar (chambered korina body, maple top, 24 frets, Floyd Rose).

I play through modelers (Quad Cortex / Fractal) and sometimes amps (Mesa, Marshall) and I’m after a set that is:

• Studio-ready / mixes well
• Highly expressive and dynamic
• Great for clean splits with "Straty quack" sounds (positions 2 & 4) – I play funk and stuff like Knopfler
• Warm and fluid for fat bluesy leads (Eric Steckel, Bonamassa, Gary Moore)
• Tight and defined enough for modern hard rock/metal (Latest Judas Priest, Mammoth...)
• Capable of singing lead tones (Satriani, Friedman)

Here are the 3 pickup combos I’m considering:

1. Seymour Duncan Custom Custom / STK-S4 / '59 Neck
   → Smooth, easy to mix, clean and balanced, classic Seymour combo
2. Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell / Bare Knuckle Mother's Mil RWRP / Bare Knuckle The Mule
   → Boutique, dynamic, full of character and harmonic richness
3. Seymour Duncan Custom Custom / Bare Knuckle Mother Milk RWRP (Or Suhr V60LP) / Bare Knuckle The Mule
   → Possibly the best of both worlds: warmth, articulation, versatility, mix-friendly

What would you choose and why? I am open to any other suggestions!
Looking forward to your advice, thanks!

I get a lot of those tones from the SD Hades Gates in my SE Custom 24-08. Rev. Willie G. helped design some great ones in the Hades Gates!!! Love the split coil tones.
I did the resistor thing to get partial from the second coil.
