I've gone the both route, I've already got an FAA CPL/IR and I'm half way through the JAR theory mine field. If you decide to do the JAR stuff, by the time you've finished the FAA CPL/IR, you've done all the flying hours required, including x country, qualifying x country, night, instrument. All cheaper than just hour building in the UK. When you start the JAR flying courses, you don't have to do the full 25 hour CPL course, it's down to the discretion of the FTO. And the IR course has gone from 55 hours, to a minimum of 15 hours.
