I'm a big advocate for the acoustic. The basics, hands, string and wood, technique, will translate to electric. The opposite, less so. However, this does not always fly in the present.

^This. But with a caveat. With all respect, I would propose that electric and acoustic guitars are really two different instruments. Which one you concentrate on should, I think, depend on what kind of music you want to play.
Also, no matter what type one plays, playing is much easier, and much more enjoyable, if two things are done to the instrument involved. First, a professional set-up so that the guitar's action is properly adjusted, especially up at the nut. This makes fretting soooo much easier. Second, use of very light strings, which also makes fretting much easier.
