The Piper is easier to land. If you don't nail your approach speed in the Cessna you will not achieve a good landing and there is a higher risk (anecdotal evidence) of you doing some serious damage to the nose/firewall. Of course, your instructor should already be ensuring you get the right speed.

Apart from that, they're both much of a muchness.
