Everyone I've gotten started playing guitar (three people), I've strongly recommended they start on acoustic. I'm not at all qualified to make that kind of recommendation, but they all thanked me when they moved on to electric.
Regardless of which you like more, acoustic is more practical in terms of practicing, and it's much harsher on your fingers because of the higher action. Moving from electric to acoustic can be brutal.
But I started on classical. Which, when I play now, is just fucking weird in an inexplicable way. I can't play those at all anymore.
