Advice for beginner on first electric guitar

Looking to buy my first electric guitar. Looking at used low to mid-range Squier or Epiphone. I've found 2 fairly great deals for barely used / like new guitars. I'm torn between value vs. quality. My budget was $250 with accessories,

Fender Squier Affinity Strat Guitar - $125

Comes with:

  • Fender Squier Strat guitar with strap

  • Fender 15W Frontman 15G Amp

  • guitar stand

  • soft gig carrying case with strap

  • power and instrument cable for amp

  • headphone adapter

  • extra set of strings

  • guitar tuner

Epiphone SG G-400 Pro - $250 (might be able to get it down to $200ish, but would have to purchase other accessories)

Comes with:

  • VOX Pathfinder Amp

Thoughts? Advice? Which would you pick?
