I live in the U.S. so I'm not sure my input matters since I don't know what selection you have over there, but....

I'm assuming you're looking at low-end pricing. As far as low end ($200-$500) guitars usually go, I have always had the best experience playing Ibanez, Alvarez, Seagull (canadian-made), and more specifically Takamine. I think out of the whole lower-mid price range ($200-$1000) Takamine has done the best job of making a quality sounding guitar for that price.

Actually, as of my recent music shoppe trip, I can't stop thinking about how I should have bought a Takamine instead of my Martin Dm. I feel like I'm having a love affair.

Anyway I hope that helps, and play a lot of different things before you buy!
