Life is like a box of chocolates
In my limited experience from playing my & my friends' guitars and doing some pickup changes. EMGs are always a safe bet for recording metal rhythm guitars with modelers like I do. They sound the brightest and have this cool growling sound in the sustain. EMGs 81+85 or 81+60 with new strings are a super safe bet for a good metal tone.
For cleans I like other pickups better. I've done ambient tones with them too usually with both pickups on and rolling the volume down like 50% on the neck pickup. 85 on the neck and 81 in the bridge.
