Well, this is totally my opinion, so you don't HAVE to follow it. If all you like right now are those 2 guitars, then I would say the ESP becuase of the Floyd Rose. But also you can get a better guitar, that looks cooler (in my opinion) with 24 frets at almost the same price with a Floyd Rose Tremolo on ebay. The Ibanez RG. (some models are more expensive than other RGs, so pick the one you like best carefully. Also pick one with a case! Haha, so you can make the strings last longer, if youre in an inclosed room with an airconditioner on all the time, and your guitar is on a stand, the strings rust faster, but if you get a case, no problem! Anyways like I said these are all my opinions.
