I always play SGs for a quick jam because they are some of lightest guitars ever and they dont sound bad at all. Though I dont particularly love the shape of the guitar, it makes it easier to play sitting down.

Les Pauls have a better overall sound and much more sustain but they are some of the heaviest guitars. The action on every Les Paul feels very smooth which makes your left hand play very easily. Its not the easiest to play one sitting down but its definitely possible. You just wont be as relaxed.

Obviously, depending on what specs your particular guitar has it will sound very different from others and will vary the cost.
On average, Gibson Les Pauls go for thousands whereas SGs go for hundreds.

Just pick them out in a guitar shop and see which one you like best

Good luck
