Once you buy them you can do anything you like with them (though if
taking 
them to a tourney or something you may want to clue up your opponents
first).

NAC seem like good all round, but I've yet to actually see them not
suffer 
from Jack of all trades and master of none syndrome (ESU seem to make a 
better hack of that).

NSL are slow, but do actually seem to do OK in the hands of beginners
(then 
again we play vector so being painfully slow could be more of a problem
in 
cinematic)

FSE take a while to learn how to use with success as they're very much 
shoot and scoot, if you haven't done the majority of you're needed
damage 
before you run out of salvos/fighters then you're probably not going to 
pull it off (except if you're playing in cinematic on a fixed map and
you 
lure your opponents into running themselves into walls).

There's been a few threads on the pros-and-cons of the various fleets,
it 
may pay to trawl the archives.

Cheers
