Kennel I think your choice to use ailerons is a good one. At the slower speeds you will be flying at initally. The left turning tendancies of the engine will not be as powerful. As farr301 mentioed it is acutlly easier to seprate your hands and use your left only for power then use the right for all controls. I learned this way and it seems to work for alot of people as well. I sitll fly my trainer from time to time and I use the rudder alot just cause I like to put it into spins and fowards slips on approach. Plus the rudder is very useful when your start getting more confident in your landings and start to learn cross wind landings. I won't wander off into that topic as I will end up writing to much like always!
The left turning tendancy is not from the engine, ie: low power less torque, but from the propeller. The greater the angle of attack (low speed) the greater the left turning tendancy. For a full explanation google "P-Factor". That being said do not totally discount rudder as some trainers have very ineffective roll control at low speeds, if however you find it rolls well at these speeds than I agree that aileron will be a little better to start. Just remember the best way to recover a trainer is throttle back release the controls then ease in elevator to pull out from the ensuing dive, add power as the nose comes back above level. Best of luck
