Steel strings, both electric and acoustic, go from a heavy gauge to light gauge. Light gauge is better for faster playing on electric guitars. On an acoustic guitar, light gauge is better for finger-picking, because it is easier on your fingers and you apply less force when playing. Heavy gauge on a steel string is better for heavy riffs, electric riffs, and stuff like that. It gives out a heavy, chunky sound, which is better on a larger body acoustic.
