In all honesty, the best way is to take lessons. Even if it’s just a couple to get a basic idea of how to hold a pick and strum and whatnot. Otherwise, learning from TABS is pretty much the only other way. I would suggest learning basic chords first, it’ll make everything easy in the long run. TABS will show you what notes to hit, but it wont show you how to position your hand. If you have a basic knowledge of chords, then it’ll be easy.
Acoustic or electric? I started playing the acoustic when I was about 8 or so. The sound and everything about it is awesome. When I finally got an electric guitar at 17, it was ridiculously easy to play. The strings felt softer, and I didn’t need to press down as hard. Barre chords were easier also. For a beginner, I would definitely recommend an electric guitar.

There is much debate over this.
Acoustic Pros
-develops hand strength faster
-develops callouses faster
-easier to switch over to electric
Electric Pros
-easier to play, quicker to learn on
-capable of playing a wider variety of songs (in my opinion)
I feel what it really comes down to is what type of guitar you WANT. Gasp! Pick the kind that you feel you’re more apt to play.
And yes, you can still play with big fingers, as a matter of fact it can be an advantage at times (not always though).
