Answer 2

If you have a specific price range, keep in mind that electronics usually cost a little bit more extra.  I've found that often you can get a better acoustic guitar without the electronics when it comes to staying within a particular budget.

Also, check out this post on buying a beginner's guitar.  It's got some good tips and things to keep in mind.

Answer 3

if you have the cash for a decent one then yes. otherwise a pickup can be added to any acoustic when you are ready to play out.

i personally like ovation acoustic electrics becasue they are easy to play, are more durable than most other guitars and sound pretty good acoustically as well.

if you want to play rock (distorted stuff, heavy metal leads) you may want to go solidbody electric.
