Going to swap the pups in my early 80's Gibson Flying V. (The bridge pickup was already repaired once by Jared at Brandon wound pickups!). These are not the vaunted Dirty fingers or anything, as near as I can tell. They take distortion well, but just looking for a bit "more", plus some better reliability! :)
Anyways, already decided on the Super Dist. for the bridge, these will be run pretty much non-stop with distortion, so what can I match it with on the neck side that will not overpower, or get TOO bassy? One caveat: It has to be a black dual coil with chrome pole pieces, as I want it to appear 'stock'.

Thirty years ago the standard replacement for Gibson humbuckers was Super Distortion at the bridge and PAF at the neck. Or Super II at the neck.

I have an Ibanez korina V with a Duncan '59 in the neck position and it sounds awesome, and works well with the Duncan customcustom that lives in the bridge. so I would agree that a DiMarzio PAF derivative of some sort would be a good choice.
the '59 in that position sounds big and deep, but with plenty of glass and/or sparkle with clean sounds, and sounds fantastic with distortion. I can get a nice rich chunky but focused OD/distortion, or it can also get really deep/dark and heavy sounding, so it can do everything from classic rock and metal to doom/stoner/sludge sounds. great for singing lead sounds.

I like and use the often maligned Dimarzio "Humbucker from Hell" in the neck position along with an SD in the bridge
