RE: trainers
It's really hard to say, The Pts trainers seem like they are more advanced trainers, meaning if you have some sim time and a good instructor it might be a better fit for you if you happen to be one of those people that catch on quick. Also it might be a plane that you would want to keep in your hangar instead of selling it once you're ready to move on to a more advanced plane. Once I was ready to move on with my trainer(H9 Alfa trainer) I got rid of it because I hated the way it looked but with these new trainers I think I would have kept it simply because I like the way they look.
If you are going with the PTS trainer I would recommend getting good with the sim and have an instructor with a buddy box. The traditional trainer is most likely more forgiving for a beginner but in my eyes it's too dam ugly to keep around once it has served its' purpose.
Everyone is different so without knowing how quickly you will catch on and how aggressive you feel about your learning curve and what looks good to you it's really hard to say what would be best for you.
good luck
