What guitar is it going on?
The Warpig is just massive sounding. Big low end (a characteristic of the row of hex screws it has on the bass side), cool mid-range grind, lots of bite, etc. The Nailbomb sounds huge too, but it's more focused and tight. Both pickups would work great for any style, but think of the Warpig being ideal for doom, grind, heavy rock, etc and the Nailbomb being ideal for more technical riffage. The Nailbomb is pretty organic sounding too though, it's not like the Painkiller or anything.
That's not to say that the alnico Warpig isn't awesome for technical riffing too, but I'm just making generalizations that may help your decision. I've gotten amazing extreme metal tones out of pickups that were designed for the total opposite. Of course, a lot of people go for the ceramic Warpig to get the best of both worlds, tighter bass and sharper attack.
Despite my generalizations, it really depends on the amp/guitar you're going to be using, but I think the chances are extremely high that you'd be happy with either.

That's a shame. They look so badass.
