My personal opinion is park your ass in a guitar shop for a few hours and play EVERYTHING!! Everyone has a fave make/model they like. I personally lean towards Strats, but I don't recommend them to everyone. It really depends on what you're looking for, what kind of style of music you want to play and how it feels to you. If you play enough of them you'll know when you find the right one. You'll pick one up that fits you right, neck size, action, fretboard, sound etc.. The only guitar I've ever had that came even close to staying in tune all the time, had a Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. Even then, I had to make the minor adjustments on the bridge. If this is your first electric, I'd recommend staying away from tremolo's right now, but play a few anyway when you're looking around and see if they might suit you. I've only got one acoustic and I only have it because I need it on certain songs, but my opinion is the electrics tend to go out of tune more because you have more play on the strings. You'll be bending more and higher than you will on an acoustic and eventually (sometimes quicker than you like) the strings will go a little out of tune.
