One very important point here, why do you want to train on efis equipped aircraft?
If you go straight to a Airbus then okay, but, you are young and might end up on steam gauge equipped turbo props.

I fly two different types of Aircraft, one is Glass and the other is partial glass, which requires a scan, not unlike the one I used on the Beech Duchess. The aircraft..... Boeing 737-400 and 800.
If you can fly on basic instruments then you will find the transition to glass easier.
The standby instruments on our aircraft are conventional type, so you would need to able to use them.
just a thought
