Welcome to TheFret, schwef...........stop by the Fret Player's section and tell us a little about yourself when you get time.
As to your dilemma, tough question to answer w/o knowing more.
Replicating Dime's sound would involve more than choice of pickups. It would also depend on amph used, playing technique, etc.
You usually stick the EMG 85/60 & 81's in most of the guitars you get, so you'll know what they sound like if you go that route, but do you want this guitar to sound the same, or are you ready for a change of pace?
There is no short answer w/o knowing what music you'll likely be playing, whether you plan on using the guitar for other styles/genres, what kind of amph you're playing through, how much you plan to spend, etc.
I have an Agile LP copy loaded w/ WCR Crossroads humbuckers, and it can cover a fairly wide variety of styles from blues to hard rock, and some jazzy sounds as well. It could push the metal boundary w/ the right amph, but sound being such a subjective thing, I would not be able to recommend the same pickups to you w/o knowing more about what you expect from your setup. It seems most players have an idea of "the sound" in their head, and what one person aspires to, another simply doesn't care for.
Another thing to consider is the fact that while some really like the sound of active pickups, others just don't think they explode off the strings with the same attack. So it really depends on the end result you're looking for. With some more info as to what you want your guitar to be, I think you'll find folks here more than willing to offer suggestions.
Of course it would be easy to just give a smug answer.......(e.g. " i use such and such, man, and they rock, everything else sucks.....)........ but that's not how we do things here
