also, for an epiphone and for a strat, what are some great pickups? I'd like to have one great one for playing clean with a smooth melodic tone and one that sounds bad arse with classic rock-style overdrive.

Theres a lot more to upgrade than just the pickups. Pots, Caps, Jacks, Switches all make a difference. Replacing the nut can help depending on your preferences, also replacing the bridge can make a huge difference tonally.
If you're going to go this route, I'd get a cheap used telecaster (USA or a cool Mexican) and do the upgrades to that. There's tons of info on the interweb regarding tele upgrades.
IMO if you want a real lester, just save up for the Gibson, there's still plenty to upgrade there.
