Which Is A Good Guitar For A Novice, Electric Or Acoustic?
I like bands like tool, chevelle, afi, so I'm leaning more towards electric.

It depends on what kind of guitar playing you are interested in. You can start off with either an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar, depending on what do you want to learn. But as a rule, you should start off with an Acoustic guitar, and through this you can learn the basics of this art.

I think acoustic guitar is better for a newbie.
Simply because acoustic strings are harder than those of electric guitars..
It's like training.
I did it too.acoustic first and now i have an electric guitar.
It seems pretty easy using electric since I'm used to harder strings (acoustic)

Electric guitar is better for a novice in terms of playability. This is because a typical electric guitar neck is dramatically thinner and easier on the hand than that of most acoustics. The other thing is that thin strings (which allow for easier bending, etc) sound better on electrics than they do on acoustics.
However...
A budget electric guitar and amp will cost you more money than a budget acoustic will, and acoustics are better for taking out (ie. In front of the liquor store).
This aside, it's really subjective. Do you want to play Neil Young, or the Sex Pistols? If you end up getting serious about the guitar, you're best off having both.
