Pickup Ideas for Jackson King V - KV3

I came across a Jackson King V KV3 in a pawn shop last week for $250 bucks. It was in good shape and included the case, so I picked it up. After getting a friend to set up the Floyd Rose, as I a have never had a guitar with one, it is playing pretty well.

 

The Duncan Designed pickups are not that inspiring. The bridge is real thin sounding and the neck is a bit dull, so I am considering swapping them out.

 

My friend that set up the Floyd said he thought a set of Seymour Duncan Distortions would sound good in this guitar. Those seem like a pretty good suggestion, but there seems to be quite a few people in the reviews on this site who think they are really too bright for an Alder wood guitar, which this KV3 seems to be.

 

I don't mind having a higher output humbucker, but kind of want to keep away from pickups that need batteries.

 

Any other suggestions?
