GENERALLY speaking, a solid top will sound better (more full, resonant, etc) than a laminate top guitar. The corollary to that being that solid backs and sides will sound better than laminate backs and sides.
Of course there are enough exceptions to that rule out there that it's tough to call it a rule at all...
The ONLY rule that I know of that holds constant in the world of guitars is the following:
"A good guitar is a good guitar."
Everything else is pretty variable.
