You need to give some thought to who you are going to listen to and that should be in every case the person who is to be your mentor/instructor. That is going to be the person who is most responsible for your succeess a realization of your dream.
To leave him out of this critical decision is the biggest mistake so many make.

YEP this guy is going to invest some of his time for your learning, free. He will not be very happy to fight a teeny light plane in the wind. Generally a 40" to 70" wing span, high wing, trainer is acceptable...to me, but I am not your instructor so ASK
IF you would be learning indoors everything changes. The trainer plane then needs to fit the flying site. Again ASK
The guy(s) teaching you will appreciate this and take you much more seriously. It is unfortunate but there are people who use up these rare people's time and do not follow advice well. Most instructers have to choose who they can teach as their time is as limited as anyone elses.
Now go ask and get ready to have a LOT OF FUN![8D]
Late entry: Just saw that you went with the Apprentice. I have taught students on them and they were very good trainers IMHO.
