What School would you recommend for CPL(H)?

Hi

Started taking lessons in a school in LA area. Got now 20+ hours and looking forward to complete my CPL(H). What USA school would you recommed? Important factors for me

1. Quality of instructors and their availability
2. Enough dispachable helis
3. Professional attitude and a professional training facility
4. Location

I will have to travel from Europe for doing this. Got to take vacation from my dayjob(B744), so keeping the schedule is important. It would be great if the training is done in an interesting area. I enjoy the mountains a lot, so if its still in the performance range of the R22, wouldnt mind to learn to fly in a location with access to mountains. I know that the winter is coming and the WX is an issue in the mountains, especially if working on a tight schedule, but i will do some flying in Swiss alps later on and would be nice to learn it straight from the basics in a mountainous area.
The training will be done based on a FAA CPL(A). Got also a JAA ATPL with 9000h+ on Jet.

Thanks a lot for suggestions.
