Use a mic. They sound better.
Schaller piezo's are what all the pro's use.
Called a Schaller Oyster bug mic.
You can get a version with 2 pickups too.
By moving it around the body of the guitar to find the best sound.
It is amazing how by moving the bug 1cm can radically change the tone!
Not really a piezo but the iRig Acoustic Stage that you attach on the sound hole is pretty great with acoustic guitars and ukuleles. It has a few nice tone settings for both steel and nylon strings, cancels out feedback, and as an option you can mix the direct sound with a pick-up if you have one installed.
Not to be confused with iRig Acoustic which is just the mic and isn't enough to get a good sound out of.
Some will say it’s a fake but if it is it is a good one! Built in condenser mic. I’ve fitted it into both acoustic steel string and nylon strings guitars and it sounds great. Not as great as mic’d up with a large diaphragm condenser but very good for a small condenser/piezo combo.

Piezos suck imo. They amplify the most unnatural part. Ploink right at the string angle. Never heard a piezo’d guitar i like. I prefer soundhole pickups if a pickup is needed but would go for a mic if given a choice. There are also som lavalier mics you can clip in the soundhole. For classical you might also look at the contact mics that you stick onto the soundboard.
This from a guitar friend who really knows his stuff. I asked him the same question:
As much as I like the K&K Pure Mini system for steel strings I really don't care for the K&K Pure Classical, it's not a bad system I just think there are better in this situation.
My first choice for nylon string is the Schatten HFN-C active for a plug and play system. If you don't want a onboard pre amp/battery then go with the HFN-C passive, but you will most likely need a outboard pre amp. This system is a plate transducer that will fit where the K&K will not. In a recording situation use it direct and also mic the guitar, any effects should be on the pickup signal, leave the mic dry.
The Baggs Lyric uses a real internal mic and by gum the thing works. I usually scorn internal mics but the Lyric is the exception. Baggs figured out how to make a internal mic work without feeding back at the drop of a hat.
The Baggs Anthem classical uses a UST and a internal mic, a lot like the Lyric. This will give you high string presence and harmonic warmth.
The Trance Amulet M is a killer plate system, highly resistant to feedback. A bit higher in price and a more difficult install. It may not fit in some classical's that have a bridge plate extending to little forward of the bridge.
