PPL - Barton or Blackpool?

Hey everyone! Well after a grueling 12 hour round road trip to Kent last week I have decided to learn to fly.

I live in Fence, in Lancashire, and my question is simple. Which is the best flying school and which is the best airport to train for my PPL at? Barton or Blackpool?

I live equal proximity to both and, once passed, I have set my heart on buying a Cirrus SR22 as I love the look of the plane and particularly the parachute idea for safety. I originally wanted to learn to fly a Helicopter, but with the UK weather like it is I am hoping to do my IMC once passed to enable me to fly more often despite our weather.

Any help or advice that anyone can give would be really appreciated. I have done my research and there are about 4 different flying schools I could choose from, so if anyone has any experience and can give me a recommendation that would be great!
