Picking a guitar is a very personal choice. The guitar you pick has to "fit" your body contour, has to be of a weight you are comfortable and has to have the utility that you are looking for.
Speaking about Acoustic guitars you first need to decide if you want a steel or nylon string guitar. Steel strings are the norm but nylon strings are good for beginners with no calluses as well as those who want to delve into classical guitar riffs.
The guitar should fit under your armpit comfortably. Too big and you won’t be able to see anything or reach for chords and notes, too small and it will feel like it’s lost.
The string action can be either high (away from the fret board) or low (close to the fret board). Closer to the fret board results in less pressure being applied to successfully play a note or chord and is one of the characteristics I personally consider most important.
Then there is cost. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a guitar. Find one that fits your specifications and your pocket book. Guaranteed they are out there. Happy strumming.
