Best twin for the initial twin is a PA-30 Twin Comanche.
I did my initial twin/constant speed/retractable in the PA-30 with a total of 100 hours in my logbook, and then was offered a very good deal by the owner and finished up doing my CPL in the same aircraft.
John Lindsay from the CAA did my CPL flight test in the aircraft and after putting me through the hoops was happy to sign me out.
Just to prove that a lot of Pprune experts know sweet fa about aviation, my first cpl job was flying a Partenavia around for a small charter company.
