There'll be a few more here - the aeros addicts - that will definitely say you'll learn 1000% more about handling from doing an aeros course. I myself am fairly crap at the finesse, but seeing the world from a different perspective (any perspective, as it sometimes turns out) really helps spacial awareness.
From my experience of finding schools etc, one factor to bear in mind is that you'll probably come out of aeros training deciding that - to feel current - you'll want to stay with the aircraft type you were aeros trained on. So figure out whether your training choice (financial, location, availability - all that usual PPL stuff) will fit for you after you are signed off.
Welcome to vociferous pub debates, such as "the use of the rudder as you lob it over the top of a stall turn."
And despite all that theoretical stuff, it's damn good fun even if you're rubbish.
