So, what's the difference between water-based inks vs. acrylic inks?

I'm using water based now and they seem fine except some colors are more thin than others. Also, they seem to limit me to light colored shirts. Is acrylic more opaque? Does acrylic need to be heat set with a dryer or flash unit? While I'm at it...what's the deal with water-based DYE? Mad questions, need mad answers. Thanks for your insight!
