SLF@LBA,
I live very close to LBA and was faced with the same problem.
I had a lesson at LFS and did not like the aircraft or the fact it was a busy airfield with the chance of spinning you whilst bringing in an airliner at a cost to yourself of approx £2.00 per minute.
I wanted a aerodrome with plenty of R/T practice, hard runways, not too much traffic but enough to not worry me when I passed and meet busy situations but with limited airliner traffic. You don't mention how far into west yorkshire you are but I live about 18 miles from LBA and I drive every sunday to Blackpool and have a damn good time. Its perfect for me. Different situations please different people and you've had the best advice. Go and visit schools to find out what you like but dont be scared of going that extra few miles.
