They were Bare Knuckle Mothers milks and Iron Gear Pig Irons, my only issue is that they were a bit polite, a view echoed by others....however Iron Gear Overwound Pig Irons are reputedly more agressive, I've got a couple but not yet tried them......
Iron Gear have a good rep on here, not just because they are cheap.....
Have a read here.....

EDIT: huh. Looks like they don't do Keystone Strat pickups any more. They do have the various other pickups for Strats though...

Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

Going back to your original question - I can't say if Iron Gear is the best brand (as I haven't tried them all ... yet), but in my experience Iron Gear make great pickups at very reasonable prices. And just to put my money where my mouth is - I ordered a combination of Pig Iron (not overwound) and Blues Engine HB earlier today for my next project.
Funny thing is, the strat pickups that are in my partscaster (from this very Parish) are actually not that bad at all .. !
So till I save up my gas funds. I can live with them ,for now.. .......
