I gained my PPL on a PA38 - to my mind better than a 152, but...
if I could do it all again, I would have learned on a Cub or better still, a classic biplane. Sure, a Moth doesn't have brakes and has a tailskid. Those are limited factors, but on the plus side, you will learn what your feet are for. When I finished my PPL (and for a long time afterwards - and some would stay still...) I thought my feet were for resting on those curious pedals connected to the rudder, which seemed to be sod all use except for steering on the ground...(OK, a little exaggeration, but lets face it, a PA38 does not really require due attention to rudder in order to fly most of the time).
You can always learn, in a surprisingly short time, how to fly a Cessna or Piper or the like. The reverse is not so true...
My recommendation then is to learn on a Cub or Supercub - all the benefits of tailwheel training but with brakes, a tailwheel, cheaper (probably - i don;t actually know) and higher crosswind capability etc. If you could really choose, you would take a Stamp or Jungmann. ...
But I would also advise that you don't treat your PPL as something to "get over" before moving onto something more interesting. Flying is flying, from "straight and level" to advanced aerobatic training. All to be enjoyed.
