I agree with Envoy regarding FSI at LGB and SAV, it just doesn't get any better. I also agree with Globalstream, the key ingredient for any learning is the quality of the instructor. Sitting at Starbucks alongside a great instructor with a napkin and sharpie is much better than being in the latest classroom with a guy who wants to talk about his fishing boat.
One more consideration if you are considering Gulfstream training is that FSI is the training partner with the factory. They develop standards and procedures together, whilst CAE looks on. CAE seems to never update materials and techniques, and never even bothers to correct spelling mistakes...
Bonedaddy's in DFW and the JW in Dubai, business class tickets, and price are the best reasons to choose CAE.
