Best route to PPL(H) ?

A friend is about to have his first trial lesson in an R22. He seems keen to go on to PPL(H) and he asked me if it would be better (read cheaper) to get a FW PPL, then convert to Heli, or go for Heli from the go? I had no idea so thought I'd ask here...

Would it be daft to learn to fly FW and get all that aimanship, Nav, radio etc etc fluent before wrestling with the roatry way of doing things?
