Steel strings or nylon ones for an acoustic guitar?

Hi! I’m going to get an acoustic guitar. My only frustration is that some acoustic guitars in store have nylon strings whereas some other ones have steel strings. It’s quite important to me to know the difference between those two types as I plan to spend over 50 pounds for the instrument. Is there any big difference in sound? Which strings are better overall? Which ones are harder to be plucked? I appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

nylon strings are for classical guitar. if you want to play rock or something like that, with a pick, get steel strings. a lot of people like to start with nylon strings because they’re easier on your fingers, and then switch to steel. i personally think its better just to get used to the steel strings early….
