Which would you choose?

Ideally want to get some really nice Hendrix/srv classic Strat tones (don’t want srv signature model) and the main concerns I have is the noiseless pickups in the ultra, some people say it lacks the character. I also am unsure about the 12” neck on the EJ, my Les Paul 50s has a 12” neck, is it sculpted differently and doesn’t feel too chunky?
