Upgrading pickups on my Ultra II

Hi all!

 

I'm looking for some advice in choosing new pickups for my Les Paul Ultra II...

 

I've had this guitar for 2 years and now I want to upgrade it...

 

First: I'm considering Graphtech Resomax nv2 bridge and black tusq xl nut. Is this a good idea?

 

Second: the biggest problem is that I really don't like this guitar sound when using some distortion pedal... my older guitar ( a 100$ reeeeeally bad guitar ) sounds better with some distortion applied...

 

I play mostly Dream Theater stuff, and I play in a metal/hard rock cover band so I started looking for new pickups and since I have a dimarzio dealer not too far away I was wondering which would fit better my LP...

 

I came up with 3 options

 

1 - Evolution pickups on both neck and bridge

2 - Liquifire pickups on both neck and bridge

3 - CrunchLab bridge and liquifire neck

 

I have no idea which one would fit a les paul better...

The first one seems a good multipurpose and the third a good one for petrucci's stuff but I have no experience in pickups so I'm asking which would be better for me and if there are better configurations that I ignored :D

 

Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english [cool] !)
