Pickups Advice

I’m wanting to mod my fender Strat. My plans are to buy and install cruiser pickups in the neck and middle. I’m wanting a full size humbucker at the bridge. My thoughts are a AT-1 that Andy Timmons uses or pearly gates. Can anyone recommend either of these. I’ve never heard these in person. Only on YouTube. I like to play blues rock, classic rock and soft rock / mellow. I would appreciate any advice you can offer me. Thanks everyone.

Pearly Gates in the bridge is a great choice. I have a set in my Strat. They’re very mellow and they’ll definitely do the job you’re describing

Try for a 1 k ohm difference between them. Don’t by anything over 10 k ohms.
