Depends
It all depends of what you need and how much money you have.
If money is not a problem, talk with Flight Safety (personally is not my style of FTO but they are good no doubt)
If you want a degree to go along talk with Emerryl Riddle (check spelling) or UND University of North Dakota or even Purdue (they have a very good engineer program)
There are some schools that are JAA approve.
Or if you want cheap get a local FBO.
Some schools will let you instruct adn paid you some do not (no J1 No legal pay)
But you better do your homework or you WILL get rip off

I've heard good reports about Mazzei Flight School in (I think) San Jose, California,although I haven't flown with them myself.
A bit more expensive than many of the Florida schools but in a very attractive part of the country not far from San Francisco. Very varied flying over mountain and coastal terrain,and a good chance of encountering real IFR if you intend to do the FAA/IR there.
They have an informative website. Good luck.

Air Safety Flight Academy
Well I feel that a flight school should not be very expensive and there should be a minimum quality of the education and infrastructure. I recommend Air Safety Flight Academy, Glendale, AZ. You can have a review and more info about the school from their website and other sites on the net.

sierra academy [near sfo]
hi guys, my dad lives in san francisco and for the last few years i have followed the fortunes of sierra academy of aeronautics. they are a reputable and long established flight school that is based just inland of san francisco. they offer all manner of courses and also internships if youre eligible. i did my ppl in a flight school based on the same airport [oakland] as sierra, prior to their move inland
i am awaiting a greencard so that i can follow my dream and join the long line of new pilots looking for jobs! when this comes, i will be heading to sierra. with the most advanced airspace and rugged terrain, covering practically every topographical feature you could wish for, im sure that this is a wise option. couple this with the option to acquire a degree from embry riddle, youd be a fool not to consider them at least!
check out:www.sierraacademy.com
hope my 2 cents has been a little help..

Its up to you how you go about doing the JAA conversion, you dont have to do it at PTC, nor do you have to do the ATPL's via distance learning whilst studying for the FAA ratings.

^^I guess it would be more time saving if I did the ATPL thery alongside FAA training, unless it would be too heavy along with FAA ground school.
if PTC is optional than I wonder if I could do it with Bristol GS and convert with cabair, thnx for your info davey

Well apparantly FSA is one of the hardest schools in the USA, they work well above the FAA minimums, I wouldnt like to be doing the JAA ATPL's at the same time.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
