You do want the bridge pickup to be hotter as the strings' vibration is far more pronounced over the neck pickup than the bridge, ie towards the middle of the string. So if you were to install a pair of pickup with the same output, the bridge would be noticeably quieter.
The ohm reading doesn't in itself speak of a higher output pickup but in effect usually does, as more turns=higher resistance (for example) and more turns also appen to produce a higher output pickup.
