Question FAA CPL/ATP which school/acadamy?

I'm planning on doing my CPL in the States very shortly but am struggling to find a flying training establishment that (i)can offer the course I want when I want. & (ii)hasn't been slagged off!

As you will appreciate there is a lot of money at stake here and I'll only get one shot at this so I need a reputable company.
My shortlist so far has been:
(1) Embry-Riddle, no-go because the course starts Sept 10 and I don't have my visa yet.
(2) Pan Am International Flight Acadamy, not sure on this one, heard it had gone bankrupt a few times.
(3) Flight Safety Acadamy, I was told this had a reputation of treating it's students poorly.
(4) Phoenix East Aviation, sent them an e-mail last week but not heard a thing yet... any comments??

With over 800 FTO's in the States it could take some time to find a good one at this rate, so any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
