Ben, could you post a link of the epiphone pack?

I think out of what you have listed, the Ibanez pack is the best bet for many reasons. The chord chart and video is going to be a big plus to a beginner. The hard-tail bridge won't give you the head aches of tuning and string changing that the Strat's spring bridge will. None of the Dean guitars had an amp with them.
For starting out, The Ibanez package is your best bet. This is a Fender fan saying get the Ibanez.
