Cessna 150/152 also can have a most unfriendly wing drop in a slipped or turning stall - particularly if at high power. Most a/c do so not much that's too surprisingly different between the PA38 & C150/152. However...

I much prefer the Cessna. I think I can help make a better pilot in it that in the Piper. Not that I can't help someone be a good pilot in a Tommy. I just prefer the handling qualities of Cessnas. Nothing more than a personal preference really although I believe I can justify my preference well enough. Others prefer the PA38, some the PA28 etc etc.

The real nub of the matter is: Which instructor and which school suits your personality better? Any competent instructor can teach in either.
