As for Strats vs LP's... I would say that they suit different peoples tastes and they reflect peoples inspirations... I personally was inspired to play the guitar by a guy named Jimi Hendrix. So I bet you can guess what kind of guitar I bought.... I own two strats. People who were fans of guitarists that played LP's generally play LPs.

In my opinion Les Pauls are better for rock than a Strat... The humbuckers respond better to distortion and they get more sustain in comparison with Strats. Strats are more versatile though. You can play almost any kind of music with a Strat.
