How I would do:

1.PPL - starting on steam gauges until First Solo (including), then continue on glass cockpit until the Check Ride/Skill Test.
2.Hour Building - first 20-30 hours on steam gauges, then glass cockpit.
3.IR - a couple of sim sessions on steam gauges (to better understand how the needles work and how/what to follow) then only glass cockpit.
4.All other ratings and certificates/licenses on glass cockpit.

P.S. if you have an opportunity to build hours as a CPL holder on either of 2 options, grab whichever comes first.
