I played and had lessons as a young man 15 to about 17. Stopped playing for a long time. I am in my 50's now, and started back last year got side tracked with finishing up my bachelor's degree. Plan on making it a go again. I have a number of guitars most are pretty cheap, I have a Fusion III US Stratocaster Epiphone LP and a PRS Custom 24-08. I use to love the slim necks but now for some reason they just feel weird and I fell more comfortable on a thicker neck, should I start back on the LP or PRS? I want to make sure to pick the right one for the long haul.
Played a long time ago starting up again

Hey & welcome.
This is a matter of getting a guitar that physically feels good in your hand & has the components that will allow you to achieve the sounds you want depending on the style of music you want to play.
Both Les Pauls & (most) PRS models have dual humbuckers. I think PRS guitars are generally more ergonomic & tuning stable.
But in the end it has to be a guitar that motivates you to practice. I encourage you to visit a local music store & try a bunch of guitars. See which one feels easier to play, more comfortable, easier to get a sound you like that will inspire you.
Happy hunting!
