gibson les paul slash custom

Which Electric Guitar will full my needs?
I mainly play songs from Guns N Roses, Metallica and a few other songs and m,ake some of my songs ( i have made about 6 i think and have copyrighted them lol).
I would prefer a guitar that has clean tone and when on distortion it should sound thumping.
My budget is between $800 – $1200
My choices are:
Epiphone Les Paul – Slash custom made
Ibanez S series – The one Herman Li uses
ESP – Metallica favourite
Dean guitars – MAB’s fav
I will only buy from these manufacturers (Gibson is a bit too expensive for me, yet!)
Thats it really.
Which guitar should i go for?
Ibanez S series
