Acoustic Guitar Metal
in choosing an acoustic guitar: Nylon or metal strings?
which would be the best? does it affect the quality of the sound it will make? please help...
If you are just beginning to play, nylon strings will me much easier on your fingers as they are more pliable and easier to push down - this will also enable you to learn chords/fingerings quicker. However, if you plan on doing much strumming you will find that they quickly go out of tune, doesn't sound as nice as a steel string guitar in this respect, and does not put out as much sound. Nylon strings work very well for classical playing as they allow for greater dynamic change and flexibility and a warm tone for this style. Steel strings work best for other styles of playing (such as folk) where strumming and/or fingerpicking is used. Steel strings hold there pitch more readily and are louder with a fuller tone in some cases. Sound quality for strumming is better on a steel string guitar. Just depends on the style of music or playing you prefer . . .

Heavy Acoustic I - Acoustic Guitar Metal
can I use acoustic metal strings on my Spanish guitar?
I bought metal strings for my Lotus LC30 guitar, and People are telling me that it'll warp the neck and some are telling me that it'll be fine. If you know that it is or isn't a good idea, please let me know and try to explain why?
I did that with my first guitar way back when. Never warped the neck, but eventually the bridge did pull up a bit. When you put steel strings on, they exert much more pressure than the nylon strings do. Even though my neck didn't warp, that doesn't mean it's not possible, in fact I would suspect that it would after a while.
If you could find really light acoustic strings, say 9's or 10's, you'd more than likely be ok. And steel strings do not exert anywhere near 600lbs. of pressure. 9's may be around 120lbs. and 10's may go to near 140lbs., but never near 600. Whoever said that, get your facts straight.
And the whole idea behind neck warp is that there is too much tension and the relief on the neck becomes too great. What some people forget is that guitars are equipped with a truess rod that fights the tension, so your guitar could be adjusted to take the increased tension without a problem. The nut is no different than a steel string, it's probably plastic. Use light strings and it'll be fine. Not everyone can afford to run out and buy a new guitar. I did this with my first guitar and I had that thing for a long time. The only difference you may find is the smaller body (probably either cedar or mahogany with a cedar top), isn't going to be quite as loud as a full size guitar, but it'll get the job done.
