My rig consists of a Diezel VH4S and a Rear Loaded German Made DIezel 4x12 w/ V30's and I love it. No changes needed there. I primarily play on channel 3 (70% of the time) and channel 1 (20% of the time) and I have a modern hard rock sound (like a Tool, APC, Breaking Benjamin, Anberlin, Chevelle, Acceptance, Coheed & Cambria, Nickelback (tone, not their music!), etc.)
I play a PRS SC250 with stock pups (Tremonti in the bridge I believe). I also own an Epiphone Les Paul Elitist in Black with stock pickups (Pretty sure it's a Standard and I would be willing to guess 60ST in the bridge based on my research). I thought I liked the sound of my SC250 but then I upgraded my rig and even after dialing my amp in my rig sounds really muddy and "crappy super cheap metal distortion pedal muddy". I then went to my Elitist and I liked how it seemed "clearer" and "beefier" yet still had somewhat of a vintage sound. It even seemed to handle heavy palm mutes all right.
I know I'm going to have to try a bunch of guitars to find what works and I know that my favorite production line of guitars are PRS. I've also owned a Custom 24 and Custom 22 (which was my favorite to play so far). I'm debating getting a McCarty or Modern Eagle Quatro since they're not making the Custom 22 anymore and I have my eyes set on a few to pull the trigger on but need to go try them first. I'm a short guy and I want to get a guitar that still sounds phenomenal but also one I can play on stage and move around a little easier as well as access the higher frets.
Any recommendations on what PRS guitar I should try? Any other guitars I should give a shot? What pickups should I give a shot if I find a guitar I like? My stipulations are that I want a fixed bridge and a double cut. I don't care if it's 22 or 24 frets. I normally tune down to Drop D and a Half Step Down so I'd imagine I'd probably want to stick to a 25" scale.
Thanks in advance for responses!

? 
Where else can you custom order something then send it back if you don't like? They have LP style guitars and many neck scale lengths to choose as well.
