With regards to the plane, sure it can't hurt to do it on a E330. But why learn to drive in a Ferrari when you can achieve the same goal in a Fiat Panda? As long as your learning doesn't suffer - and for this crucial part I doubt that the airplane matters for most students.
Why: 90% of ab initio students never flew a turn greater than 45 degrees AOB. Are they able to absorb significantly more from an auprt course in an E330? Doubt it to be honest. Mental and physical saturation point is pretty low if this is all new for you.

PS a 172 can do more than SLF
