Which is best Gibson Les Paul or Epiphone Les Paul?

It all depends what time of sound you like. I would prefer a Gibson overall. I have an Epiphone Les Paul Special and I love it, but still the Gibson Les Paul is on time of my list. Oh and by the way my les paul was made in Indonesia, not China. I thought they were all made from China too. Epiphone is more for those of us who at the moment can't afford a Gibson, but are working on it.
