Slightly more stable in choppyness possibly, but not particularly any easier. All the above types are equally easy to fly at the PPL stage. If the 152 was harder to learn on as it simply wouldn't survive as an ab-initio trainer, however cheap the hourly charge.
One thing about the PA28 is that a lot of FTO's use them for the IMC, so if you're planning on progressing to the IMC it might be an idea to stay put on the PA28?
