For what it's worth - I'd go for the PPL asap and get it out of the way quickly -
It's much more fun learning once you have the ticket - and it opens up a bigger world with less pressure
I made a mistake in learning on an odd type - when it went tech or when the weather went out of limits, the spam cans were still flying - but I wasn't.
If money is not object (lucky thing...) why not intersperse the PPL instruction with the more interesting types.
