I know this is true in case of programming for a lot of languages. I am not sure whether this applies to learning guitar as well, I don't have any experience playing a guitar myself so, I can take your point as valid until I try out something and see for myself if there is a difference.
One difference is that each musical instrument has its own personality like each person/player.
Classical, acoustic and electrical guitar are totally different.
It is important that _you_ like the instrument. That is a matter of personal taste.
Important is the joy to play.
Therefore pick that up that you like most, whatever this is.
