I think a Tone Zone might be a bit hot for the neck position. I pair a Tone Zone humbucker at the bridge with a PAF Pro at the neck. Bear in mind that you don't need extreme-output pickups to play heavy music. A stock strat will do the job. All that scooped-mid gain comes from pedals and amps. Lower-output pickups actually work better for high gain use, because they are less likely to get muddy.
