DiMarzio are very popular for metal. A DP 180 for middle or neck, with a DP184 Chopper at the bridge gives a very nice metal tone. Another excellent choice is a DiMarzio Full Metal for ripping shreds on the bridge. These combos provide superb low end on the bridge, and clean even tones on the middle and neck. To really take advantage, you might want to put a 500K on the bridge control for high tones.
If you don't care too much about playing clean,and are only interested in distortion, I've heard Iron Maiden uses Seymour Duncan HotRails SHR-1 pups for their particular sound. most people seem to feel clean tones suffer on these pups, though. Hope that gives you some direction.
