I can offer dozens of recommendations but none of it will help, the only way you'll find out what's best is to try everything you can for yourself and pass judgement by your own set of ears..

A couple of options that come to mind-

-Most DiMarzio pickups can be used for what you're looking for. The Evolution is an obvious choice but you might also want to take a listen to Petrucci's pickup choices as well.

-Seymour Duncan's Pearly Gates is always a favorite among shredders looking for versatility. I would recommend them over quite a hefty list of alternatives.

-Email various companies (starting with DiMarzio) and ask them for a recommendation based on what you're looking for. It's fast, easy, and most of them give great advice. I can guarantee not many people here are as familiar with pickups as the people who make them.

Try Bare Knuckle Pickups if you feel adventerous. They're rated higher by their customers than any other pickup company I've heard or heard of.
