Have done training with both in the past. BCFT were a good school and probably still are but last time I popped in there it had very much become newer and shinier with glossy brochures a cheesy pics everywhere. In itself this isn't a bad thing, it shows they're successful and given that these places largely run on reputation they must have lots of satisfied customers. I remain one to this day 5 years on.
PAT never changes, it's a traditional, small but friendly, family run flight school with very high standards and a pleasant atmosphere to go with it. I did my CPL and MEIR with them and would recommend them to anyone.
All the best whatever you decide.
