Fenders suck balls all around. The strat is an awful axe. The tele has a unique sound but also sucks balls to play.

If you want a good axe, get a Paul Reed Smith. If you want a lot cheaper, get an Ibanez. The wizard 2 neck is the single fastest neck I have ever played, and it comes on their $350-$700 guitars. Ibanezes sound like shite but they play really fast.

Nothing is good for $200, but you could do decent for like $400-$500. I have to warn you and pay attention to this. If you get a tremelo based guitar, unless you know EXACTLY what you want, ONLY GET A FLOYD ROSE LOCKING TREMOLO. They make many models, the really cheap ones suck. Make sure that you get a good tremolo. Otherwise your guitar will constantly be out of tune no matter what you do and how often you tune. Also the sustain and tone won't be as good.

I've recently become a snob and am now getting my guitars custom built with my own specs. I have one coming that of course has the wizard neck but is made of real woods and has Duncans and a floyd. Can't wait to see it.
