Default 2-stroke or 4-stroke?

I am in the process of putting together my 1st trainer (a [link=http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmart.exe/MainMenuFV4.html?E+Sig]SIG Kadet Senior[/link]). My question is this: I really like the sound of the 4-stroke engines but have heard differing views as to the added complexity, maintenance, etc. of the 4-stroke. One flight instructor I talked to said that its not that much different than the 2-stroke. Would you recommend sticking to a 2-stroke for my 1st engine? Also, any particular brand engine that I should avoid? I have been eyeballing the Magnum 4-strokes.
