I think all the aircraft used by schools are pretty much viceless when respected. They will all teach you the basics of flying... and that's the important part. Learn and get everything you can from the experience. There are any number of pilots who are snobs about aircraft but in being so, they are wrong. More interested in vainly distinguishing themselves from others than getting the job done. Vanity is weakness, not a strength.

When and if you decide to transition to something that might bite a little more, that will take some time and will also be something to enjoy. It's all about learning, one step at a time. Or the 150/172/Cherokee might be what you want to fly forever, it's up to you.

Right now, it doesn't much matter which trainer you fly.

Have fun training in the sunshine and understand that even Santee, while hardly a Mecca for fine dining, has better food than the airport cafe
