I learnt in both the tommy and warrior, pretty much 30hrs in both, altho abit more solo time in the warrior.

For GH I think the tommy is the best option, its more interesting to fly and has great viz, also more spacious. LIke has been said tho it can be abit tedious to do cross countries with since it always requires attention to keep it where you want it, which just increases the pressure on you when trying to learn x-c skills.

warrior is much more stable, too stable I think for decent GH, you can do alot to it and it'll just sit there, unlike the tommy that will teach you to be careful.

Not flown a 152 so can't comment, but I don't like highwings, its annoying not being able to see where your turning into! If I did it all again I think I'd still do it how I did. I recommend the tommy since it'll make you a better pilot, plus its got better viz.
