I tried all, and each sounds different, if we talking when EQ set flat, and for example just single H switched/balanced!
Alnico sounds more vintage and let's say not widely, but very classic and in fact all you need for usual playing! If there's no piezo included you need some work with preamp to make it clear! (mostly boost some highs)
Ceramic (my choice) sounds wider than alnico at the first place, more "metal" and "zingy" and very clear, so need for using preamp is just for minimal corrections!
Neodymium is even more wide in tone character than ceramic, especially in low end!
It's also more powerful (almost brutal), obviously have stronger magnetic field and higher impedance, automatically we have a stronger output! I had a feeling that with Neodymium I should cut some frequencies, instead to boost it!
Take this review as my personal point of view, but I'm sure that is not far from real status of the facts!
I can't comment about the Neos, but I totally agree with your Alnico/ceramic comments.
