What's your favorite kind of pickup? Not as in brand or model, but generally. You know, Single-coil or humbucker, alcino or ceramic, etc.

Personally, I like Alcino-V magnets in humbuckers. It gives a lot of punch, and plenty of power. I don't see why some many people tell me that you need ceramics for metal, Alcino-V works just fine. For me, Alcino-II isn't powerful enough, and Ceramics are just too muddy for me. It's not that present when you distort them, but an undistorted ceramic pickup just sucks.
