For cheapo guitars, you can't really go wrong with Schecter. Those Ibby and Yamaha models you posted are ok, but you won't get the same quality, and any guitar you'll find at Sears is gonna be a POS.

I'd go with a Schecter Omen. Try before you buy, if possible too since build quality can be hit or miss on any mass-produced cheap plank.
