It's a matter of preferences. But if you really dislike google you shouldn't go with any Android phone.
IPhone 5 is a great phone, so is the cheaper alternatives like iPhone 4 as well. If you want to dive in to the Apple sphere, you should definitely buy an iPhone. I get the feeling you're somewhat more interested in the iPhone option (some influence from your father's experience?). Just go for it. It's a great phone and I think you wouldn't regret it.
