I use both, depending on the specific guitar and what I have in the bridge. The Jazz is a bit more articulate and a bit more full-range, so a great match if you need the neck with distortion. The '59 sounds very sweet though. They're both excellent pickups I like the Jazz as a nice match to higher gain pickups: the Custom in the bridge with Jazz in the neck is something I've used a lot. Still, my old Charvel still has the original '59 in the neck from when it was released and it sounds great too, but I match it with an old Screamin' Demon (not all that hot) in the bridge.
