Seymour Duncan vs. Dimarzio

I'll be replacing the pickups on my P-Bass and wonder which brand has a better reputation; Seymour Duncan or Dimarzio? Also, if anyone has any experience with these brands, your input would be helpful. I'm looking for a P-Bass sound with some boost. I don't want it to sound too hot or "electric" since I like the traditional bass sound for playing jazz, but I need something with some edge for funkier or more bass driven music.

Thanks.
