The Pickup Place / Blacktop Strat pickup recommendation

Hi Everyone, It's my first post here at dimarzio forum.It's nice meeting you all. I owned a Fender Strat Blacktop (alder body with maple fret), and looking for a pickup combo that will let me play a diverse style (rock, pop, prog metal and death metal). I don't use any actual amp, instead i use my ipad with Bias FX(great app by the way) with my KRK Rokit 5 monitor at home. I want a pickup combo that will give me tight bottom for heavy chugging, and cutting leads. Great good clean tone, and clears up well when volume is rolled down. I am looking into Crunch lab(bridge)/Liquidfire(neck) combo ( I am a big Dream Theater/JP fan), also want to hear the opinion on JP's new signature Illuminator, Super Distortion and Steve's Special.
All the review I've read on those pickups are on a different body wood than my blacktop strat. So I really would like to hear from you guy's recommendation on a workhorse pickup combo.
Cheers!
