Before you buy any of them though, test them out somewhere. What the description on the internet says, a lot of times, is a lie.
One of my friends already has an ESP, though I forgot which model. That Paul Reed looks nice. :oThe nearest music store to me is Mega Music, I'm gonna go check them out hopefully tommorow, see what guitars they have.
Scope some ladies while youre at it, they like the good finger strength of guitarists/bassists.
