If you had have asked me a month ago I would have agreed with you.
In my oppinion they are easily the most stylish, but I'm drawn to Explorers for some reason.

Hmm, hard to say. I like the shape of the ESP Forest (I have an Ltd F400FM) and the Ibanez RGA121/321. Both are based on the basic proportions of a Strat,but with some degree of modernisation. Out of the list given though I'd take the LP/SG or EX over the Strat.

Not really. I have an RG1527, a 7 string Ibanez, it took a little while to get used to not subconsciously judging fretting based on the position of the top string, but it isn't that difficult to adapt to. You really miss the extra string when you move back to 6 strings.
The Les Paul is the best looking by far....not played one though :(

Yeah, they're a dream to play. My best mate has a nice hollow body, and come this Wednesday, another mate is buying a beautiful white solid body Les Paul.
I'm so sick of saving for a car, I wish I could get my hands on a new bass or guitar sometime in the foreseeable future.

Music Man makes some of the sweetest basses ever for slap/pop and just a great funkish bass.
They're high quality stuff, I don't mind the looks but it wouldn't hurt to style it up a bit.
