PPL, taildraggers and charter

Hi,
I would like to do my PPL this summer and am thinking about different options. Would love to do my PPL training on a taildragger plane, but I'm not sure if it makes sense, because the flying club where I would like to fly and charter planes after the PPL doesn't have any taildraggers and the clubs around where I live don't have any also.
So my questions:

1. Do You think it'll make sense to get initial PPL training on a tailwheel plane somewhere else if You won't be able to fly and charter taildraggers at home after that or will have to go far to fly some? Is the quality of training so much better?
Because I can get training on a Diamond Katana for a good price at a nearby flying club I think it'll be better to add a tailwheel endorsement later after completion of the PPL, but do initial training on a tricyle gear standard trainer.

2. Can You recommend any flight schools in the USA or Canada that offer (initial) PPL training on tailwheel planes?

Thx!
