Default Pups for a 28.5 scale 7?

So my baritone warmoth is almost here. I just cant decide what pups to go with. I want clarity and mass. This guitar is going to be set up for D#,G#,C#,G,C,E,A#. Since its basically 1.5 steps lower than an 8, i want something that is going to retain clarity that low.
I'm pretty inexperienced with baritone scales.

Im open to something different. I was thinking maybe a d-activator? Maybe a Norstrand? I would consider a M7 but i dont really want to sound like meshuggah. I'v been playing a warpig and a painkiller for the last year or so, but I need something a bit more thick and not as sharp.

I play ion dissonance/danza type stuff.

Guitar is flame maple neck/fret board and a swamp ash body.

I know Nordstrand will pretty much make whatever you want based on your descriptions. Might be worth a shot to shoot them an e-mail and see if they have any ideas.

Canadia.

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion
