Should I go with the fender or the G&l?

I plan on getting an american deluxe fender strat. But I heard about this other guitar called a G&L legacy. I know a lot about the strat but not so much the Legacy. What are the differences between them as far as pickups, type of wood, features etc. and which would suit my preferences more. I like to play alternative, grunge, blues, jazz, clic rock, hard rock, progressive, and metal. A few of my favorite bands are Pink floyd, Led zeppelin, U2, Rush, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Oasis, Coldplay, The Beatles, Audioslave etc.
