I'm a big fan of lipstick single-coils - it's an amazing clean-and-chimey neck PUP tone.
I have this in the neck of my 335:

It isn't very high output, but sounds very clear and smooth. Pretty much a humbucker for people who hate humbuckers.
If you want the flutey distortion sound, I'd check out an Alnico II humbucker. The vintage wound ones don't sound muddy like most modern HBs.
I've also been curious to stick a Charlie Christian in something:
