Cessna every time.

Two doors, so you can supervise and assist your passenger(s) entering the aircraft and getting strapped in.

High wing - easier entry, great view for all passengers, no grovelling around on the grass, draining fuel. The only drawback is the need for more vigilance during turns.

It's been a while since I've flown a Piper, but I prefer the landing characteristics of Cessnas. The key, as with any aircraft, is to be on speed and trimmed and hold-off as long as possible, to land on the main wheels.
