They're all good - it depends on what sound you're looking for. For straight-ahead rock - the DiMarzio JBs are really popular. For Metal, the active EMGs are real common. To give a Strat a humbucker, the Duncan Hot Rails are the way to go. For Blues, the Fender Texas Specials are great. The Dimarzio and Duncan web-sites have pretty good descriptions, but it pretty much depends on your ears.

Depends on what style you want or play.
I always liked the Humbuckers.
Vintage Noisless are great.
