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.

I've never built a PAF from scratch but I have unbalanced some coils to good effect

I agree with all of this, and it seems like a never ending quest!
