I'm seriously thinking about doing a custom strat from warmoth, but I don't know much about single coil pup's. I'm going to be using the strat mainly for clean stuff, blue's, and classic rock type stuff. I tried using the search option on here, but couldn't ocme up with anything. I would appreciate any suggestions and info.

What are you looking for in which pickups? I'm assuming you want something a bit vintage sounding.
Look through the DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan websites, they both have some very nice products that might fit what you're looking for.
If you want something more botique look into Kinman, DeTemple, or Bare Knuckle (UK). They'll cost more, but you might find it worth the difference.

You could stick with the stock strat pups, and use the "quieting the beast" technique found at:

This shows you how to make your single coils less noisy.
Not sure what you want, BUT, one of my personal fav's is position "4". (Neck and Middle, out of phase). Add some reverb, and you got a real nice clean sound. (Think beginning to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 1")

After looking around a bit and listening to a few sound clips, I decided I like the Seymour Duncan SVR-1 vintage rails in all positions. Not sure if I'll end up going this route, but for now that the way I'm leaning.
