For most people, an "acoustic guitar" is generally considered better if you want a versatile instrument that can play a wide variety of genres, while a "classical guitar" is better if you specifically want to play classical music or prefer a softer, mellower sound thanks to its nylon strings, which are easier on the fingers for beginners; essentially, the best choice depends on the type of music you want to play.
