The best guitars to get.

For a beginner, I'd say the best guitar is a Classical acoustic cheapie.
Classical means nylon strings, which will be MUCH easier on your fingers for the 6-8 months or so it'll take to develop the calluses necessary to handle steel strings.
And cheapie because you don't know what you want and what you don't want in a guitar, you don't even know if this is the instrument for you, so it makes no sense to spend a lot of money on something that may end up in the attic or a garage sale within a few weeks.
You can get a student model for less than $ 50.
