I'd get either the Thunderbird or the SX. Seriously, though, do what you want. (The PJ will probably be more useful sonically - I'm not at all impressed with an Epi Thunderbird's sound, as much as I think they're cool-looking.)
 
heres an idea: the sound i want is similar to that of the Gene Simmons Punisher. i heard it on a video of them playing at the Quilmes Rock Festival it reminded me of a sort of growly deep warm abrasiveness... it rawked!! i figure since the punisher has an active EMG PJ config i figure maybe if i buy an SX and put emgs in it. i also want a white pickguard.
