Basic skills
What is needed for a PPL is an aircraft to teach the basic skills of aircraft handling and dead reckoning navigation, these are the building blocks of good pilotage and are the skills you will require when the screens on the more advanced aircraft that you will move onto go blank.
There is a very advanced airliner and three hundred people at the bottom of the South Atlantic because an airline crew did not have the very basic skill of flying by pitch and power, don't become one of these pepole by getting carried away by technology and have that technology mask your lack of skil.
So the C152, PA28 or something in that range is what you should be looking at but if you can find one the Piper Cub would be best.
As for the SportCruser if you can find a club offering it as a training aircraft they will have gone bust before you get your PPL half finished.
