I installed a D Sonic (blade facing neck) and an Air Norton in my friends Jackson DXMG, and I thought it sounded really good. He was expecting it to sound like active EMG's though, and wasn't impressed, so he sold the pups to me. They sound basically the same in my basswood/flame maple RG, and I love them.
These pickups fit the description of the sound your going for fairly well, but I believe Necrophagist use EMG's, so think more along the lines of Petrucci with the Dimarzio's.
