Next are the Steel bridge/peizo electric guitars. Some are semi-hollow and most are solid body guitars.
4. Godin Flat Five X and Montreal. To me these are the best semi-hollow electric/acoustic hybrid guitars with steel peizo bridges. What make them a cut above the rest is the fact they are semi-hollow and have on-board eq. Humbuckers w/5-ways switching makes them very versatile.
5. Godin LGX. Basically same as the Flat Five X and Montreal but in a solid body guitar. Still sounds very good.
6. Parker Fly Deluxe and Nitefly. Have their own unique sound but start getting
a little quacky with peizo snap. Great necks but I started missing wood.
7. Fender USA Power Tele. The peizo sounded good but the noiseless pickups were lacking life. Still a cool guitar with body binding and classic look. Too bad they were short lived.

I also have and use a '90 USA Fender Strat Plus, I bought a LR Baggs acoustic bridge an exact replacement for the American Standard Bridge. All you need is a stereo jack and you now have a hybrid guitar.

To answer your question, I think acoustic bridges are better because you do get a better acoustic tone.
