Regardless of which tail wheel type you choose, make sure you are not conned into undergoing training in aerobatics as part of the "package." This will double or triple your costs and is a waste of money.
As with every new type you get endorsed upon, the syllabus should include stall recovery, and if the aircraft is approved for spinning then you would be wise to be certified competent at spinning. Most flying schools will claim you need a minimum of five hours dual instruction for the tail wheel endorsement but that will include aerobatics. Once the normal upper air training on type is complete (45 minutes should do it) then the rest of the endorsement should be on circuits and landings including crosswinds. If you are reasonably competent you should not need more than two hours in the circuit. Remember you have already flown other types.
When Tiger Moths were the mainstay of training aircraft at Bankstown in the early Fifties the average time to first solo of someone who had never flown before, varied between six to nine hours depending on frequency of bookings. This included the full gambit of upper air work including spinning and forced landings, steep turns both gliding and powered. All landings were from glide approaches.
As far as I am aware there is no legislative requirement to complete a minimum of five hours for a tail wheel endorsement so make sure you carefulyy monitor your own training records to avoid excess hours that are unnecessary.
