Hey shybird. I did my training at North Shore Aeroclub and in my biased opinion, accept no substitute.
It was always fun watching those Ardmorians students trying to land on our runway and missing it by 200' too high...some of them actually gave up after 3 or 4 attempts.
Of course, this is my very bias viewpoint. Check them all out and hang around at each one to get a feel for how they operate. Good luck with your new flying adventures whichever way you chose to go.
