Training in the US

Hi,
I'm looking to complete my PPL in the States. I've read loads of comments about training in the states but it's difficult to make my mind up on one. I went to Cabair's site and it looks like they send there students out to Orlando Flight Training school. I've checked this site out and it looks really good and reputable, also checked out EFT which looks good.

I'm 27 now and its only now i'm financially secure i.e I have a decent job to fund my training.. I want to become a commercial pilot and will shortly apply for the FlyBe scheme (last year applied for CTC Cadet but got knocked back after 2nd stage)..
Anyway, If everything goes pear-shaped with FlyBe i'm determined to get my PPL and progress further somehow!!
Could any of you experienced guys (maybe who have trained in the states) provide recommendations/advice on the above schools and maybe provide pro's and con's on obtaining a PPL in the States ?
