I want to buy a new guitar, and these two seem to be good choices for players. I play mainly rock (and classic) and alternative. Which one would be better for me?

do the Gibson, but choose the SG over the Les Paul...trust me, man...

Strat is great for blues players. It's pretty decent for rock. But the Les Paul is the rock standard. I'd have to agree thought that I'd rather play the SG. Great sounding guitar at half the weight.

I love the sound of a Les Paul, but it always feels really heavy compared to a Strat. The Strat can sound great if you get the humbucker pickups in the bridge position. Stock strats have a thin sound because of the single coil pickups. I've been a huge Ibanez fan as of late, also.

I lean towards the Les Paul for the kind of playing you describe. But if you are considering those two... Consider this as well-

I love my Les Paul, so I would have to say go with that. I personally think that Fender instruments sound wayyyy to mechanical. Plus...Strats are common as hell.

I'm personally a Srat fan right now. But my dream is an SG
