To the best of my knowledge you can't use a permit to fly for training. No idea on insurance.
C of A is more preferable in regard to less restrictions. But as far as I know it is likely to cost you more to maintain C of A standards.
Also to throw a spanner in the works theres the new easa C of A and that is one of the reasons tony said its gonna be a long answer.
