Ok I guess everybody's already said this, but I'll sum it up. =]

Electric kits are great for quiet practicing, because you can leave them turned off and still practice. They're a little more expensive than a high quality acoustic set, but you can practice forever and make barely any noise. The bad thing about acoustic sets is that you have to have a great amp to use them in a live show.

Acoustic kits are very good for live shows, but they're also very loud. I bought mesh heads to use with my kit when I feel like practicing, and they're very quiet. They have their disadvantages also. After every practice session, I have to put my regular heads back on and tune them. You also don't get the true feel of the set. With real heads, the tension and type of head have an effect on the rebound you wouldn't get from mesh heads.

So after reviewing them, I'd suggest going with an acoustic drumset, just because you can get a feel of an actual drumset, and learn how to tune. Because that's very important =]

I hope this has helped you in making your decision on which kit to buy.
