Electric is easier to play and start with, although I personally started on acoustic as many do.
Best way to get started is to just start learning chords, then start looking up and learning how to play basic songs you like. Power chords aren't a bad starting point, but are limited in what songs you can play.
I started out with a lot of nirvana songs and power chords, then went from there.
The nice thing is once you get proficient with your chords, you can look up the majority of songs and learn them on the spot very easily. For me I can learn any song I wanna play (that isn't crazy advanced) in like 2-3 minutes.... it's fun. Once you get good at your chords you can do the same.
