They clean up really nice when you roll off the volume and you get a nice thick clean sound without it sounding weak, but that's a bit of a muddle to roll back up and step on your fuzz/drive channel simultaneously to go back into dirty territory. Specially if you're doom-crooning at the same time.
Agreed, I will sometimes roll the tone down on them a tad as well for more warmth, tone at 0 on a warpig is probably one of my favorite tones of all time...still have yet to try it with a neck version...but I know it has to rule.
To answer the original question check out stonewall, wolftone or avedissian for smaller operations with great products. Seymour duncan just released a new line of heavy oriented pups....wonder if any of them excel for doom tones? I really liked how the pegasus sounds. As far as the bkps go, you really cant go wrong with the warpig, but if you want a bit more attack and bite id say try a ceramic nailbomb. Aside from the alumatones, lace has a few others that ive heard mixed reviews on, really depends on the guitar and rig even moreso than others it seems but ive seen people use the drop & gain, nitro hemi and dirty heshers all to a glorious effect...I think the bad reviews are when someone is looking for something really specific or they imagine a pickup is going to fix their playing and/or factors elsewhere in their chain not getting them where they wanna go.
