mexican made fender strat

would a gibson melody maker or a fender mexican strat be a better guitar?
The melody maker is american made, but the fender strat is very well known. HELP. which one plays better, has better pick ups, etc.
Gibson has always made high quality guitars, however Mexico is where a lot of the earliest guitars were made and they have been perfecting their technique for years. I’d go with the Strat, they are very dependable. I’ve had a Mexican one for years and it hasn’t died on me yet.
