On a VH2. I've got 3 LPs. One with Burstbuckers, 1 with Custombuckers, and 1 with a Dimarzio Super 3 in the neck and Super Distortion in the Bridge.

All three sound great, but I like the DiMarzio set the best. It's the warmest of the 3. In the Middle position its killer for warm lower gain and the bridge is a fire breather. Neck fattens up nicely. Roll the volume off and its my clean tone on a dirty channel for those Adam Jones not-so-clean cleans.

The Custombuckers sound better on the neck than the middle for lower gain (I like it warm and wooly), but can also rage on the bridge.
 
It’s close, but the set that seems to click the most is a set of Rewind PAF-1 A4s. The other humbucker LPs I own have a set of T-Tops (73 Custom) and another set of Rewinds (Bloomfield Neck and A2 Bridge). The A4s have a punch to them that works really nicely with the VH4 and the guitar they are in is naturally quite bright and punchy too, so the combination works really well.
