C152 or PA28 for PPL/CPL training

hey everyone, another wannabie here chasing the dream to become a pilot, in need of advice.

i have about 40 hours and am about to advance to the PPL stage of my training in Australia. Now I am undecided about which aircraft to fly in as due to the influx of Indian trainee pilots into Australia, many schools are now offering the option of C152s for Nav training. My current school at the moment only has one warrior as compared to many more C152s, and secondly the cost in a C152 is of course lower than the PA28.
So the C152 is more available and is also cheaper but does it matter in the end? Would it affect my chances of being hired in GA after completing my CPL? And some one please reassure me there are jobs in GA for new CPL holders with 150-200 hours? (i cant afford a instructors rating...) Oh, and would anyone know where i could do a MCC to supplement my CASA CPL?

Your comments and feedback much appreciated
