For me it depends on where I fly...

about 75% of my time is on PA-28 type aircraft and most of the rest on cessna high wing, 152/172 and I have flown both types in England and in South Africa.

In England where the airspace is a lot more channelled and so a lot busier I feel claustrophobic in a high wing because I want to see around me. I'm also quite tall so it's not unusual for me to have my head right up against the ceiling even with the seat lowered. (see the 152).

In SA where the traffic has more space to spread itself about this is not a problem.

it's also down to the fact that more time on type = more comfortable but I guess that is part and parcel of being a lowtimer
