I would stay at Stapleford if its close to home, time and money saved and you can just pop down if a last minute cancellation and/or if a flight was weathered off you can nip home, no drama, takes the pressure off and it does add when your paying £450 an hours for a twin....
Not sure what licence your doing but if its a PPL stay away from a commercial school, go to a flying club first, cheaper and less $ orientated then go to commercial school if its what you want to do.
I did some training at Aeros and I found them to very dishonest, as per previous post I put, they regularly take deposits off people, one chap was charged £5,000 for uniform! I spoke with him directly, it did happen and he was looking at small claims court to get it back. They have also had a few crashes not reported and this big one last year which I believe is a criminal charge now:

Wherever you choose, good luck in your studies and enjoy it!
