FAA CPL will be accepted by about 3/4 of the flying world.
Not so sure about the aussie CPL since it's based on the Old system UK licensing as far as I know.
Pls send me a PM/email if you need more info about a FAA CPL.

As a CASA licence holder i have to say that it would be better off doing the CASA licence and then go on to convert it to FAA if you require.
There is generally a bit more flying training and theory exams required to convert from FAA to CASA due to a precieved lack of standard with FAA training. Australia being a harsher enviroment to fly in with its great remoteness requires a higher standard of naviagational ability.
Each countries liceneces are unique to the conditions that their pilots are required to work under. No matter which licence you pick they all will have their pros n cons.
At the end of the day CASA or FAA they are both ICAO type licences which means in you should be able to work in any member state however in reality they will always be some sort of conversion process such as an exam or flight test.
From what i've seen in the training schools there are a steady stream of international students heading to australia to conduct their flight training.
If you need more info on CASA licences PM me or if you dare post in the "Dunnuda & Godzone " forum.
