So I've wanted to swap out the Duncan Designed pups in my Schecter semi-hollowbody for a while now and I want to put a P90 in the bridge. Of course the guitar is fitted for humbuckers and I don't even want to consider whether or not modding it for a regular soapbar pup would be possible, so I'm looking for recommendations for good P90s that I can get for a decent price and will pop into a humbucker spot. Any ideas?

I've got a mean90 in a strat now, pretty rad...it's got the p90 mid-growl Though I'll probably be swapping it with a p-rail because I like having both a humbucker AND a p90 in the bridge of that guitar.
If you've got a bit of dough the bkp mississippi queen is worth a look...they are pricey but worth it.
For bridge, a Duncan Phat Cat. The GFS Mean and Dream 90's are better in the neck, IMO. There are a few more I've wanted to try - there are a fair amount of 'bucker-sized P-90s. Forget which others were good.
P-100's are fun to turn in to loud single coils too, massive low end.

Seconded. Favorite pickup of all time. Big and fat and clear and percussive all at the same time. It isn't really a pure P-90 sound, which is more a midrangey snarl. The Z-90 is just bigger than life everywhere.
