Which neck pickup match for DiMarzio Super Distortion?

[kent]

I am a pretty die hard Seymour Duncan guy but I have a DiMarzio Super Distortion just dying to go into a mahogany Explorer copy and I would like to get another DiMarzio for the neck. I know there is no law against mixing pickup brands but I'm just looking for something different so humour me. As far as Duncan neck pickups go my favorites are the Jazz and Pearly Gates.I'm thinking PAF Pro right now but I'm not too familiar with DiMarzios so any suggestions are appreciated.

paf pro would be good .

what are you looking for , brighter/clear , warmer/fatter, more or less power ?

what amp are you using ?

I need an open, articulate tone but with a good amount of output much like a Duncan Jazz or Pearly Gates as I said. I could just go with one of those but just for the heck of it I would like to try another Dimarzio. I had a floral Jem years ago with PAF Pros and I really like that pickup in the neck so I am leaning toward that. There are just so many Dimarzios that I am not familiar with so I am looking for suggestions. My rig is a monster rack built around a Randall RM4 preamp.

I have a PAFPRO. Perfect match for the SD before I switched to a TZ.

paf pro, super 2, breed neck, or evo2. the air norton won't probably have "enough" power to match the SD. out of the ones i recommended, i would personally go with the super 2. for me and mahogany: air norton and tone zone.
