The amp thing depends greatly on three things. What sort of tones are you going for, how loud do you want to play and where will you be playing.
If you're not planning on trying to tease out the finer degrees of a "edge of breakup" versus "grit" versus "power tube distortion" versus "lead that cuts through the mix" it seriously makes deciding on a amp easier.
And if you are going to playing at conversational volumes or just about, alone or with one other guitar playing in your house, you can eliminate 90% of the most desirable amps right off the bat because they are designed to play loud as heck and be heard over a drummer in a bar!
