When you use the term "acoustic electric", what exactly are you talking about? I have heard this term used for everything from a standard acoustic with either a saddle or sound hole pickup all the way to something like a Gibson 335. And, what you are trying to do with the pedal is a little different if you are using it for a hollow bodied electric vs. an acoustic.
Indeed, if you are looking to just thicken your acoustic sound, I might suggest a digital delay set for very short time with a lot of repeats rather than the chorus. However, for electric, the chorus might be the better choice.
Either way, it would be hard to go wrong with either the Boss pedals (CE-5 chorus would be a good start, the CH-1 has more functions, but probably for what you are after, the CE-5 is fine and the DD-3 for delay would probably be satisfactory; again the DD-6 or DD-7 are probably more than you need) or you could go with the Digitech Hardwire series (the CR-7 for chorus and the DL-8 for delay). Both have great cases, and are really road worthy. The Boss pedals have been used forever by everybody, and really do give great performance for the buck. The Digitech Hardwire pedals basically give some features that folks have wished Boss had offered for years, and have the same ease of use as the Boss. Both have hard to kill cases.
You will be spending ~100 to 150 per pedal for any of these.
If you are doing only acoustic with an under saddle pickup, then the Fishman would be nice, but it is expensive.
