Great answer Dawn.
I'd add that solid bodies as a rule are cheaper, too. They're probably less fragile too.
The main question I'd ask is "What styles of music do I want to play?" and then go for a solid-body! hehehe. No, srsly, unless you are into jazz, rockabilly or something like that, solid body is the way to go. More comfortable, more solid, cheaper, no floating bridge (?).
Hollows and semi-hollows are like cool vintage cars. They're more work, less confortable, more expensive. But some people will always still want them, though. Including me.
