The only ones that I appreciate and actually use that I dare even call a "single coil" is the Dimarzio HS-2 or HS-3.
Now I know that is hum cancelling and not a true by 50's era Fender single coil, but it gives me a very close sound WITHOUT the annoying hum. Heck even Eric Johnson uses them. I have them installed in a few of my Strat's.
Another one that is indeed a true single coil is the ToneRiders 60's pups that come stock in my Squier Classic Vibe Strat. Hot enough to be able to work with and still a true non hum cancelling pup that has garnered quite a following.
As for single coil routes in my various Jackson's, they are all filled with pups like the Dimarzio Chopper or Duncan Lil'59. Does not give me a massive volume drop when switching from the humbucker and still has plenty of strength and tone.
The Fender Triplebucker bridge pickup features a monster triple-coil design that allows you to to tap into a versatile palette of explosive Fender sound, from punchy and powerful humbucking tones to creamy complex three-coil mode.

If I am playing "metal", I am probably not going to leave the bridge pickup, so there is no reason to even worry about the single coil.
But for other music styles, I have actually grown to like single coils more then humbuckers in the neck (and middle).
This...for metal never but love single-coils for other styles though
