Depends on the overall size of your work piece and how tight the corner areas you need to mill.

If you're looking at doing a v-carving, typically you can use any size bit. If you're staring out, try it with all three bits you have and see which one you like. There is no right or wrong answer really.
Most popular is a 90 deg. 1/2" vbit. But that my be to large for your project.
I haven't worked with acrylic at all either. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. 😁
