Any difference between a G300 panel and a normal one?

I'm off to Florida soon...to do some flight training.
The school I'm doing my PPL with offers some options
for students to choose from.

1. Cessna Skycatcher 162 with a G300 panel, joystick control

2. Cessna 172SP with Legacy panel ( non-computerized flight instruments), normal yoke control

Does it matter which option I choose, if my ultimate aim is to be a proficient and safe pilot?

For the more experienced pilots here, does it feel very very much different when you transit from using a joystick type control from using a yoke column?

More importantly, does the instrumentation panel mean any differences to training? For example, could a G300 glass panel be bettter and easier for a student instead of the normal style instruments?

Please advise.
