Do like the idea of ATC control as I will be in the thick of it so to speak right from the start.
This has to be one of the biggest misnomers that people come out with.
It doesn't matter where you learn, but the fact that you'll be training at an airport witrh commercial traffic, with limited access to the runway means a lot of your 'valuable' (costly) learning time is going to be spent sat at the hold with the engine running or flying orbits downwind while you're waiting for them to arrive or depart. (This is not me having a go at Humberside ATC, who do a wonderful job - it's just a fact of life).
You will get more 'bang' for your 'buck' at an A/G airfield in the early stages of learning to operate an aircraft where it's more relevant. The three rules of aviation are "Aviate, navigate, communicate" - it's not a bad idea to learn in the same order.
