School me on passive Precision pups without pole pieces

So I've got a nice 2013 USA Precision with a stock "Custom Shop 60's split" pickup that I'm thinking of replacing with a low profile, flat, black pup.

It used to be easy ... Bartolini or EMGs?!

Searching around, I'm just learning about the Delano PC4 HE/M2, Keisel SPC, Dimarzio Will Power, etc.

Opinions from happy campers? I play jazz, blues, reggae, motown, stuff like that. Looking for:

- passive
- deeper lows
- higher output
- wider side-to-side range for bending strings
- good design for minimizing or eliminating ground buzz/hum
