A good guitar pickup is really about preference. In mechanical terms what makes a good guitar pickup is its ability to transfer the frequency of the vibrations of your strings into electrical sound. Now being in capitalistic America, as i assume you are, the more expensive pickups will be better at this. If you play metal/hardcore guitar is suggest you go with seymore duncan type or EMG pickups as they get the best sound out of your amp. If you play country, soft rock, etc. you can probably just stick with whatever pickups came with your guitar and concentrate on getting effects and pedals for your amp.
