It's really a question of whether you like them on the hotter end of the scale or not, what sort of magnets would suit you, and how imbalanced you'd like the coils.
A bit of research in that area will narrow it down to a few dozen makers, after that they're much of a muchness.
The set I've currently kept is the DryZ's. They're not cheap and hard to find but they are quite remarkable in giving me the classic 50's PAF tone. Theirs alot of hype with them but they never disappoint. Only one's i haven't really tried are Wizz which seem to have very good feedback.
But original PAFs varied a lot - they were not made accurately. Every pickup manufacturer who makes a PAF-style pickup has their own interpretation of the 'PAF sound' based on different original pickups in different guitars, so you can't judge them on 'authenticity' - once you get to a certain level of quality they basically all sound like PAFs.
