You may as well title the thread: "Dull vs. Sparkle".
The EMG HZ pickups lack any good characteristics. I would go so far as to say that they are so dull and bland they are undeserving of any name except "the mediocre one", but that's not true. They have one particular characteristic, which is that if you switch up the treble you get a bright but brittle and very scratchy top end. The lows sound dull and faded, the mids can growl a little if you get it right.
Maybe I'm being harsh, but after playing them for a couple of years, they are just such boring pickups. BORING.
The DiMarzio's on the other hand... Talk about midrange.
