ATPL ground courses or distance learning

Hi guys,

I've looked for a similar subject on any website for days but I didn't find anything.
I'm following a modular cursus to become an airline pilot and it's now time for the ATPL theory.
My question is simple :
What an airliner would prefer between two students with the same CV with the only difference of ATPL distance learning for one and ground courses for the other ?

Say that the ATPL is at the same school for the two of them.
Considering that the students were not forced by a job or by the money to choose.

The second question is :
In the case of you think the airliner would really prefer one (I guess ground courses), do you think the difference of cost worth it? Basically the price of the school, exams and an accomodation for 7 months, say £8.500, or £3.000 for a typical distance learning with exams fees.


That is really a big question for me right now because it represents a lot of money and the only thing which could help me to choose is all your advices or remarks.

Thank you
