I play both.

I played a steel string acoustic most of my life, and now mostly play
an electric. They both have their pros and cons. The main
difference, I find, is an acoustic is more percussive. It requires
one to continually finger/strum the strings to generate notes. The
electric guitar gives one unlimited sustain, a entirely different
style of playing. Play a single note and sustain it, bend it, and jes
generally raise Hell with it, practically forever. It's harder to
learn than one might think.
