It's really not that important, honestly. The way people utilize guitars in R&B and hip-hop (especially hip-hop), the type of guitar is of little or no consequence. Most of the time, they're not even real guitars, and not many people seem to care or be able to tell. As someone from a guitar background, that frustrates me, but I've gotten used to it...
I wish people would stop trying the nylon-string sound, though, because no one EVER gets it right.
Anyhow, if you're looking to buy a steel-string acoustic, I'd recommend an Ovation. They sound good, and the body-shape makes them more comfortable for a lot of people than other brands. If that's of no consequence to you, try out Martin and Takamine, as well. Just go to a guitar store and try each model. There's no easier or quicker way to do it. If you're looking at nylon-string guitars, they generally sound awful unless you pay a LOT.
