Yeah all of the (small number of) pickups I've made have been to that unpotted, slightly unbalanced PAF formula.
Humbucker players often seem to be looking for a little more brightness and dynamics. Conversely, single-coil players are often looking for a "fatter" sound, trying to take the edge off.
That's another huge part of what makes a guitar sound good: tuning it in to do what you what either by tweaking controls or by amp, pickup & speaker choices.
PS: nice playing and vocals
