which is better fender stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul. Which one is better in sound, has a better body, and which one do they use in skillet and flyleaf?

I am planning on buying one of these guitars and i cant make up my mind, i need a guitar that's good for metal, but also for jazz. I never actually held a Les Paul in my hands, so is it true that because of the body construction it's hard to play highest notes? Please give me your opinion the sound of these guitars, thanks! P.S. also can you tell me the difference between Gibson and Epiphone

I've had a crappy strat knockoff for 2 years and im ready to get a quality guitar. Right now im leaning toward a strat because my 3 favourite guitarists use them (David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, and John Frusciante however i also like some jimmy page stuff). I've read that les pauls are best for metal and have a thicker sound but i won't ever play metal. The sound im trying to get is (not surprisingly) John Frusciante meets Jimi Hendrix and some pink floyd psychedelic stuff Another reason i like strats is that it has the whammy and i NEED a whammy bar to nail this sound. Also I heard replacing the pickups in the strat can make it sound beautiful. So any pickup suggestions to get this sound that im looking for Thank You! And for what its worth, i have a Peavey Classic 30 and i usually play through a wah and im in the process of getting a fuzz factory.

I want a guitar with a Les Paul shape and design but I don't want something heavy. I don't have much cash so I haven't even looked at Gibson but I know epiphones are too heavy for my liking. It doesn't even really need to sound good. I plan on messing around with the pick ups if I don't like them initially. Any ideas?
