Everything depends on what you like.
I have a not very expensive Ibanez Artwood. It doesn't sound very flashy, jingly or anything, more like middy and a touch clanky even. But it records beautifully. When I tested guitars in the store, it had the least bling and high-end to it, but it has this meaty resonance I knew would sound good miked. And it does; I like that kind of a sound. I can't stand the acoustics with just top end and a beautiful sheen; I want my acoustic to sound strong and meaty and warm. You hit it, and it goes BRAMM and not BRLLINGG like most acoustics do.
I dunno if people as a rule would prefer its tone even on recording, but I like it lots.
