I may be confussed (it has been known to happen) but unless the thread has been moved how is this a professional training forum? As well as the JAA/FAA herring why has professional licences been thrown in?
Anyways, to answer the OP original question; in simple terms the best school to get your PPL is the school best suited to you. This depends firstly on your location and how far you wish to travel, how often you wish to fly, how much you have in your warchest, the type of aircraft you wish to fly and the relationship you will have with your instructor. You may very well get recommendations here based on others past experience and you should of course consider these but ultimately the best thing to do is go to all the different schools in your area and sit down with your potential instructor and discuss your training requirements. This will give you an opportunity to discover how the school operates and if you can envisage yourself being happy to be a part of that school for the duration of your training.
There are some usefull threads here which will help you when you visit your school. (
Here is one for example)
Hope that helps,
