Which pickups do you prefer? DiMarzio HS2, HS3, HS4 or Duncan YJM Fury?

I like all of 'em, except the Duncan YJM Fury neck/mid pickup.
I love the HS3 in the bridge and HS2 in neck/middle positions. YJM Fury bridge is cool. I wish someone made a pickup right in between an HS3 and a YJM Fury Bridge.
HS2 is my favorite for neck and middle.
 
I’ve liked all the Dimarzio stacked I’ve tried, The Areas, virtual Solo.
I like the Duncan STKs a lot too, a little
More output, a little louder.
I’ve found that the stacked singles sound better with 500k pots even though Dimarzio suggests 250k.
But the best SSS pickup setup I’ve ever had is a set of BKP sinners.
Those are true single coils that scream like humbuckers but still have a ton of single coil character

It's funny because it feels like the HS2 was always overlooked and because he put it in the middle, was just a dummy pickup. The HS3 just ended up being used in both neck and bridge. I like it's roundness, wish it were a bit hotter like the Duncan fury.

but ultimately, I think YJM's best tones came from those Dimarzio FS-1. Not noise cancelling and I believe hotter by a bit but both him and Norum were la bomba with these in their guitars.
