I like both. Actually a pickup cunfiguration that is getting seen more and more lately is a humbucker in the bridge and neck position and a single-coil in the middle. I think that's a very versatile set up because the positive thing about ingle coils is they really articulate subtle nuances of picking and string dynamics, but in the neck position they they tend to sound really "hollow". By moving the single-coil closer to the bridlge position it tends to get rid of a lot of that overly rounded sound
