start off with something cheap- you don't need so much sound quality when you start and if you give up guitar after a while you'll have wasted your money.
if you want to strum chords, get acoustic, if you want to pick or play ,blues, metal, rock etc get an electric. Personally i wouldn't get an electro-acoustic, are expensive and sound quality is not good.
Check out those package deals you can find sometimes, i had one of them with an amp, guitar, leads, plectrum etc, and they are great to start with.
Check out basic ranges such as Hohner Rockwood, Aria MAC, Epiphone Gibson, Fender Squire and Strat series, Burns, Tanglewood, for electric and anything under about Ł150 for acoustic. If you have a friend who knows about guitars, get them to go with you as they can advise. Buying second hand can save you money but you may be ripped off or be sold something smashed up.
