EMG SAs are great for an ultra-clear strat sound. You'll get close to f.ex David Gilmour's sound (he uses 'em). They probably work well for the Malmsteen thing, too.

EMG 81s are very good for metal, especially scooped-mid, skull-crushing stuff. Want Metallica tone? They'll probably get you halfway there.
