Definitely depends on the type of music you're into. If you're into blues or country music, steel is for you. If you're into flamenco or classical music, nylon is for you
Steal produces more of a harder sound, plus for beginners its harder on the fingers. Nylon string gives a softer sound, and is easier on the fingers. Steal is easier to tune, and restring, nylon is harder to string and takes longer to tune. Plus it comes out of tune quite often right after restringing it. Hope I helped some
Steel strings have higher tension than nylon strings. And typically the neck is wider than on a steel string acoustic. However if you look around you can find steel string guitar necks that are wider than nylon string guitar necks. Ibanez makes some nylon string guitars with non traditional and traditional nylon string necks. And you can find fingerstyle steel strings with a 1 3/4" nut width for more fingerstyle playing acoustic players. Epiphone makes some.

nylon strings produce a more "latino" sound, similar to the flameno style. i love em.
