I've never heard any feedback issues when he was playing, and my amp isn't even as loud as his so I'm not really worried about feedback issues, i think it'll be fine.
Another thing to consider is that my girlfriend is wanting to buy it for me for me birthday and the strat is a little more expensive, so I almost don't even have a choice.

Here's yet another angle to consider. They've been making and selling Strats for well over 50 years now. They're not going to stop. Hollow-bodies have been around forever too, but there aren't many specific models that have stuck around that long, and those that have are NOT cheap. If there's a particular modern hollow-body that's caught your fancy, I'd say now is the time to get it.
Also, the issue with the feedback is when you -stop- playing. Like when you're just holding that last chord and letting it ring out, sometimes having that tear up into a swell of feedback is a great cap to a tune, sometimes it destroys the delicate balance of the intricate love song you just performed. The hollow-body simply has more space to allow for the sound waves to resonate and create a feedback loop. It was a major complaint from the guys in Oasis back in the day.
@WWWP - Good luck with the rental. Keep us posted on the new guitar when you finalize your decision.
