C152 or PA28?
For hours building I'd go for the 152. Having flown both since gaining my PPL in May (and training exclusively on the 152) I find it a lot more "nimble" than the PA28 and more relaxing to fly solo (in good weather).
I haven't flown a 152 since the Summer as I have been doing the usual "newbie PPL" thing and taking friends and family flying for which I find the PA28 is better suited - more room and more stable in turbulent weather.
Apart from all that - £17 an hour less!? Go for it
