To answer you're specific question, of those 2 planes I would recommend the Apprentice. Its a good first plane, flies very well for a foamie, and for its size, it does remarkably well in the wind. I've taught several students to fly on them. I haven't flown the Sport Cub but cubs are generally not the most friendly planes for beginners. They're ok in straight flight but can be squirrelly on take off and really need rudder for coordinated turns. Beginners usually have enough to worry about managing ailerons and elevator. A third control can be overload.

Having answered you're question, I'll then second the recommendation to find a local flying club and instructor. It will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. You may not even need to buy a trainer as the club may supply one.
