Default The Right Guitar for me?

I'm looking to buy an acoustic guitar so that I can be able to do and learn certain things on it but I'm not sure what guitars will suite my needs. To give you a heads up, I've been playing bass for over four years so I'm somewhat used to playing a stringed instrument.

Alright, here's what I'm looking for and I'd like to hear any suggestions you guys have...not on where I can get it just brands and models:

1. Price range: Around $150 but not over...something cheap obviously
2. Learn music theory on it
3. Get a good sound when playing chords, finger picking, using a standard guitar pick, tapping (including two handed tapping), sweep picking, slapping/popping, tremolo picking
4. Something I can play basic acoustic rock songs on but also some jazz, classical, pop, and flamenco.
5. Be able to cover songs, specifically solos. Many solos I want to cover require 15+ frets, I don't know if this is possible on any acoustic in my price range
6. I want the life of the guitar to be over 3 years. Something durable basically.

that's basically it, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
