Having had both.

Id say Ibanez is a better buy for the money. The Jackson USA and imports are made better IMO. I don't there there is a better starter guitar than Ibanez, I've just never been impressed with their high end stuff. Jem's are butt ugly I don't care how good they are.

Flat Jackson neck with sharkfins is hard to beat for that type of music.

ESP - not LTD - but the older M-I and M-II are fantastic guitars.
