Hi,
Currently Flying or have flown in the last 6 months
Cessna 150/152/Aerobat
PA28-180R
PA-34 (Seneca 1)
PA-44 (Turbo Seminole with no anti icing!?!)
PA38-112
PA28-140
PA28-161
PA28-181
On the Cessna/Piper debate, no contest in my opinion .. Cessna 150/152 is too small (from a cabin point of view), underpowered and too slow so that if theres any kind of wind at all it takes donkeys years to get anywhere. It also doesnt inspire confidence in nervous students/pax.. maybe its acase of being very tinny and high wing. Aslo the visibility out of a cessna is awful.. cant see where you're going in a turn!
Give me a Piper anyday (140/161/181 excellent training platforms)(with the exception of the Traumahawk which I always feel is taking me to the scene of the accident!!!)
Want to Fly:
Anything like Firefly 260 or aerobatic machine!!

From: on your left, a little low.....
Currently on a C-152... affordable and fun... once you get used to the wings blocking the view...transparent wings would be a nice finishing touch... The absence of them wouldn't be. 
PA28 - 161 - The source of my PPL
PA28 - 180 RG
C 172
Being in the right place at the right time has got me the spare seat on the following assortment in the order of remembering them.
C 177 RG cardinal
C 182
Allouette 111
R 22
Cessna 208 caravan
Harvard/ Texan T6... whichever you prefer
Beech Baron
Beech Bonanza
Kingair 90
Cessna 402
It's a modest list but I am pleased with it...
