I've never heard of either pickups. Where exactly do you live? What kind of guitar do you have? What do you play or would like to play?

If I were you I would do some research on the web to learn more about pickups first. Then I would definitely buy online. Seymour Duncan and Dimarzio seem to have a huge following and their websites are excellent resources explaining the different models.

The Seymour Duncan website has an excellent sound page where you can here samples of ALL their pickups and on different types of guitars. They may not test them on the guitar you have but they use the same guitar for all the samples of a particular guitar type. It's a special made guitar with a quick change pickguard so they can change pickups in LITERALLY 3 seconds. There's even a video showing them do it. The point is, you can trust that the sounds you hear are a true comparison with everything else being equal. The differences are sometimes very subtle but it will give you a good idea.

I have an Ibanez too, and i have Infinity pickups (INF3-INFS3-INF4), (i think dimarzio makes them) they are great for metal and rock, atleast that what i think. Btw, are you allowed to play metal in the UAE, i mean in concerts and such, or do you have to get a permit like i have to when i play in Iran? I've never heard of shadow sry.

Here's some i found about the infinity pickups:
DiMarzio IBZ Pickups are made by DiMarzio in the United States exclusively for Ibanez guitars. Harmonically alive with medium high output, DiMarzio IBZ's were made specifically for hard and heavy rock guitar styles.
