Cernunnos:
Emg's
They are overdriven, high-output pickups. Good for metal type things. They also require batteries, because they have a built-in preamp.
Duncan-designed humbuckers are going to be More versatile i would imagine. More traditional. Both kinds will play the kind of music it seems you want to play. read about them here. Keep in mind that they are essentially the bargain version, and probably are not made to the same quality as the American-made Duncans, though i have not read any reviews for them.

BC Rich for the most part makes absolutely hideous looking guitars.
Ballard:
I remember a while back in this thread someone posted some super high-end B.C. Rich guitars that even I was partial to.
Personally if I were ever to play metal (and with every stoner rock record I've downloaded recently that desire has gotten stronger and stronger) I'd just invest in a gorgeous Les Paul. I don't see why the dedicated metal guitar niche exists in the first place- there are tons of more versatile guitars that would do the job quite well.
None of the original influential heavy metal bands played anything but Fender and Gibson (and in Lemmy's case, Rickenbacker).
valley_parade:
that's mostly why I've been GASing over a Les Paul lately. I need something proper to get my stoner rock on.
Uh..I might be trading the LP Junior clone for this mid-90s Duo-Sonic. Probably will replace the pickguard if I get it.
s'got a replacement neck as well. The originals were 22.5", this is a 24" Warmoth neck with the big CBS-style headstock.
Lummer:
Did I mention how awesome my Les Paul is?
