Its entirely up the person playing the guitar. Sure there is quality, but it mostly comes down to what you like. I own 2 Rickenbacher 6 strings, some people don't like them. 'naw, man, play a Fender!' 'naw man, play a Gibson!'. Guess what, the artist plays the guitar.
If your son has never played before, don't buy him something super expensive. Most kids will give it up in 6 months. Get him something middle of the road, that way its not complete shit, but not completely overboard either. If he sticks with it, you have a good base to build on, equipment wise.
All of the companies you mentioned sell good middle of the road gear. With guitar plus decent pracrice amp, figure total cost $700-800.
Then add lessons at $30-50 an hour, twice a month.
