Too many unknowns to answer effectively: quality of your nylon-string guitar, quality and condition of strings (how old are they?), your tuning method, how you fret and pluck the strings (pick or fingers?). Assuming that all those unknowns are non-issues, I’d say that steel strings have a crisper and clearer sound vs. nylon and are maybe a little easier to tune precisely. Nylon strings seem a bit more variable to me. Some days, I’ll think it’s time to change strings, and the next day they’ll sound great. My first teacher used to insist that it’s good to loosen the strings and retune every so often (one at a time, not all at once, eh?).
