Its not a stupid question at all. It is however a Pandora's box that can bring out all kinds of conjecture and debate. Long form answer gets into "what is your personal style" + "amp modeling" + "1,546,899,345,004 tonal combinations possible before sound leaves your speaker" + "your speaker, is it a 10 inch or.."
Short, sweet: by far the Stratocaster fits the bill. The Telecaster is a fine guitar, used by many different artists for many different styles. Its just a numbers thing.. for Blues and light rock, the Strat will be the more common weapon of choice.

Definitely Strat if we're making a choice.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

You should be able to get a pretty sweet 15w amp for that budget. Maybe a Fender Blues JuniorÉ

For blues, Fender is a good choice, but amps are definitely something you want to try hard to try before you buy. You're on the cusp with your price range... should be able to get a nice low-watt amp easily, but you could think about upping your budget and look at some really sweet, more "boutique" amps. I bought a Lanely Lionheart 5 watt amp (much louder than you would think for 5w) and being a hypocrite, I ordered it on-line without trying it first. Big commitment for a $1000 amp. But I did a ton of research first, and felt it was just what I was looking for, plus I called all over and no one had them in stock at the music stores. Really happy with it, but if you're going against a drummer you wouldn't be able to keep the amp loud & clean.
If you could find a used Fender Princeton from the 60's or 70's, you'd probably love it.

I have a Vox VT 15 which I really like. It has a lot of cool settings on it,and is more than loud enought to annoy the people next door! ;)
