For beginners, the Jasmine would be better.
In my experience, though, if you're just learning to play guitar, electric is easier to learn.

The cheapest because I might give up and then it would be a waste of money. After all the second hand value will be a lot cheaper than new. If I do well and make progress then I could buy a better one. And once I had mastered the instrument I could choose one of the best. Then when you rise to the level of a master of the instrument you can buy the very best. It is not the instrument that plays after all. It is you. People often think by buying the most expensive or the best that thier playing will reflect that. This is not true. A great player will make even the cheapest instrument sound good. So many people when young give up. Much better to wait until progress has been made and a standard of competance has been reached. Then you can decide what to buy because you will know more about your playing and your requirements.

ALWAYS buy the best possible quality of guitar that you can afford even if you are a beginner. It is FAR easier to learn to play well on a good quality guitar, and if you find that you want to continue your lessons and become a professional, or even just upgrade it for your own personal enjoyment, it's always easier to sell off a good quality instrument.
p.s. by the way, probably the Takamine, although the Jasmine is a fine guitar.

Both are good names in guitars. I have 3 Epiphones, all Electric, My Acoustics are Applause and Washburn, both of those are good names also.
You might want to also look at musiciansfriend.com and americanmusical.com
Both of those sites have plenty of deals for beginners which include gig bags, straps, strings, picks.
If you can try any of those out at a neighborhood store and get a chance to see how it feels to you that would be a plus.
Fender and Gibson also make great Acoustics, not sure if they have any in that price range.
Good luck.

A Yamaha acoustic. They are cheap, effective and reliable too. I own one and that is what I use when I'm composing music. I love it. It was a gift for my B-day 2 years a go and I used it every single day.
They are about the same price as these 2 you listed too. then, when I go in the recording or rehearsal studios, then I bring out the killer electric and let it rip...
Good luck

Definitely the Takamine. I would pay a little more for an acoustic you can hook up to an amp. Because once you get good you will want to hook it up and then you'll be off buying a new one.

The Jasmine is good. I have been playing for about 14 years and I have played a couple of these and they are good for beginners.
