In your situation it's pretty clear, go straight for the 45 hour PPL (A) if you have any interest in flying more than just microlights. Having held a LAPL (A) in conversion from NPPL, it's a pretty pointless licence for a new person unless you have medical issues, as you can't carry passengers for 10 hours PIC after licence issue and to upgrade to a PPL you have to do the 10 hours differences training and another skills test (all ££££). Any new NPPLs now are dead in the water currently for anything EASA related so steer well clear if you are looking to fly anything other than microlights unless anything changes.

Search round your local schools and see what attracts your eyes, remember to factor in exam costs not just the flying costs, see if you can speak to a few students too.
