It's mostly about taste, I guess... There is some people that love Gibson Les Paul, and there's some people who hate the feel of it. If you haven't tried them before, I suggest you do it in some local shop ^^
The only major difference I guess is that Gibsons often have humbuckers, and Fender often have single coils,, But that doesen't stop Maiden from rocking with a Fender Strat, or Gary Moore from getting his blues down with a Les Paul =) -------------------- GMC is not just a website...

You should definitely try them, and also at least an Ibanez (which is kind of intermediary between Gibson and Fender).
It's really about taste. Some guitarists are just crazy about single coils, and others are crazy about humbuckers. Some, like me, want to have both (that may cost a lot though,  , because you may need more than one guitar.)I prefer humbucker sound for distortion and single coil sound for cleans. But everything has its own use. strats usually play easier than les paul/sg, but on the other hand I prefer the fat sound of a les paul. Ibanez or fat strats would be compromises if you like both things. -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

I think we can't help you mate, it's up to you to choose the guitar. Don't get me wrong I wanna help you in any way I can, but the best advice I can give you is to trust me and go to the store, tryout several models of both Fender and Gibson, and just choose what feels best for you. Trust me you will know, those two guitars are very different, so it's either one or the other.

As has already been suggested, go to the shop and try everything. If you are spending 2000$ you want to be sure you you get what you need. Fender: strats & teles. Gibson: LP and SGs. And maybe give a try to some Ibanez guitars, they are nice, Jackson too, but maybe too "metal" for your liking.
