I'm a bassist who dabbles in guitar, but I'm gonna join in anyway. I have a (mexican) Fender Jazz bass. I run it through an EHX Little Big Muff into a Hartke HA4000. I'm recording with my band atm so I'll post them when their finished.
My guitarist has a custom strat with a tremolo, and the sustain is brilliant. The problem isn't tremolos as a whole, it's just that good tremolos are hard to come by.
Also Gibson's are nice but I find them so uncomfortable to play.

Don't buy anything with a bolt on neck unless money is an issue or you're just starting out. Fender strats are the only exception.
Pretty much any Gibson guitar is good. Stay away from Epiphones.
I have a few guitars with tremolos. They're cool to mess around with but their tone compared to guitars with a standard bridge is shit. You'll need an amp with tons of gain to compensate for the loss of sustain.
For acoustic I recommend Ovation. Best bang for the buck. They play nice, look nice and sound good plugged in.
