To answer your questions...
Either acoustic or electric strings will work.
If you use acoustic strings like phosphor bronze the high E and B strings will be noticeably louder than the G string when amplified through the magnetic PU. Some players hardly notice, while it drives others crazy.
Acoustic strings always sound more acoustic, and I really like that, but others don't want their acoustic archtops to sound acoustic, and prefer steel or nickel strings because of that. Flat wounds sound even less acoustic, but see previous statement, that is the sound some folks like best.
Like Mr. DeRosa said, try some options. You can get different sounds form your new axe, experiment, learn what you and the guitar like for your style of music. Post clips!
