Learn to fly - UK or USA?

Hi everyone,

Im taking the first steps towards a career in flying. I currently, only have 7 hours flying in a DA40 which i really enjoyed but i wanted to see if anyone had any advice on the following ;
A) a flying school to take me the modular route from 0 hours to frozen ATPL (im currently flying with cabair from cranfield)
and
B) As I live in the UK is it better from a career point of view to learn to fly in the UK or the USA and if it is better why?

I know its cheaper in the USA but ive heard rumours that airlines like people to have trained in the UK is that true or do they just want consistency with the training as in same flying college or instructor?

All comments much appreciated!

Thanks

Sam.
