I think you should buy an electric, as long as you can give a lot of money to buy a good one, electric is much easier to play, you can learn chords very easily and you bend, with acoustic will be very difficultto learn to how play,
but if you are willing to practise a lot and ignore the difficulties you should buy an acoustic, and you'll see after a few years playing an electric will be very easy,
what ever you do dont play with effects, play only with clean tone
