A solid top vibrates more freely and ages into richer tone — worth it from ~$200 up. Laminate is tougher and fine for a first guitar or travel.
Only if you'll plug into an amp or PA. For home and campfire playing, save the money and put it into a better top.
Dreadnought for big strumming, concert/auditorium for comfort and fingerstyle balance. Smaller players often prefer smaller bodies.
