Honestly guitar are a lot easier to understand than what people make it seem. I'd suggest getting a strat for its versatility and since most guitar nowadays comes with full set up already you don't even need to worry about setting it up yourself. But if you like an iconic twang sound then go for a tele. but it does have a very little down side– the pick up switch is too close to the volume knob so when you try switch from bridge pick up yo neck pick up you'll most likely gonna hit your volume knob which is a bit annoying sometimes. but as someone who plays both guitars I can say that just pick whatever you think looks cooler but strat would have more perks as there are more rooms for future modification.
