RealGuitar 2 is the best for strumming. If you want a nylon guitar for finger picking, the Washburn in QL Ra is pretty darn good. Of course, if you just want a VSTi acoustic guitar Ra is rather expensive.

ManyGuitar needs a mention here as well. Paul (ManyTone) also always has more sample-sets in the works.
Nothin' beats the real thing, though!
www.manytone.com
* there's a soundset list under the ManyGuitar page and you'll see the acoustic sets he has; these are the multi-samples only...not a list of the presets! He's got some sample MP3's there as well, so be sure to check those out.

Gotta be RG2,
I've lived it and breathed it since it came out.
The only better sound I have is my Yamaha APX steel string
FYI: This month's SOS has an RG2 v VG2 review, which tactfully tries to conceal VG's shortcomings by saying how easy it is to use.

I have 2 real guitars (an Acoustic Classical and a Variax) and have played for years but since I can't play properly anymore since my hand injury (though I am slowly getting better with my clumsy 2 finger playing!) I'm always looking for good guitar emulations. I'm not keen on sampled instruments as I like some life in my sounds but have tried many physically modelled guitar and stringed instruments and own most of them apart from a couple 
Until recently I liked Tassman and String Studio best for plucked tones (not interested in strummers as none are really satisfactory for me and anyway I prefer to pick or play leads) but I have recently found a new favourite - Creamware Six String:
http://www.cwaudio.de/index.php?seite=sixstring&lang=en
This was the last of Creamware's own (not third party) instruments I'd bought and I must admit I wasn't really planning on buying this for a long time as I thought nothing could touch AAS stuff unless maybe a I could afford something hardware like a Yamaha EX5 (I do have a VL-70 but that's monophonic). Also Creamware do have a few other physically modelled synths for Modular (like Python) and to be honest although they are nice for strange sounds they don't touch what I already have and are not at all realistic - I really thought maybe their strengths were more with analogue models, not PM synths. Also since Creamware don't have a demo of 6 String either (crazy I know) I meant to pass up on it but recently they had a sale where it was marked down to 99 euro's so I gave in and bought it.
What a surprise I got! - it's just astounding, very beautiful tones - the electric sound has a tube amp stage as well (and fx plus you can slot in Creamware effects) and sounds wonderful, does some great blues and jazz guitar sounds, and the acoustic model is capable of some great classical and steel setups and both models also do other strings - some wonderful harp sounds and more far out pads etc too (only weakness for me is it isn't so good for 12 string/Sitar like sounds but I have my Variax for that). The modelling is quite deep with the capability of changing string type and thickness, plec type or plucking position, body size and type, even mic position. And no CPU of course so I can hit it as hard and fast as I like and get no glitches, something I can't do with Tassman etc. Sorry it's a DSP instrument but this in my opinion is the best and I have tried them all.
