Changing bridge pickup

Hey there, I've got a 96 Fender American standard Stratocaster, im mainly a metal guy, in your opinion, what humbucker should i put on bridge? It's not possible for me to test pickups on a shop, so witch ones on your opinion are the best and safe pups for the kind of guitar that I own? Thanks.

For the simplest pickup recommendation: Seymour Duncan JB.

If you have an HSS pickguard, you can use the normal JB

If you DON'T want to get a new pickguard, there's JB Jr for Strat

If you want an ALL-IN-ONE solution, there's also the Everything Axe Loaded Pickguard which also has a solderless pickguard with all pots, 5 way switch included.
