61 vs 141 really depends on your learning style. In the US, it wont really make a difference in airline hiring. I preferred part 141 because every lesson is spelled out and the course is kind of fast paced. If you mess up on a lesson you have to redo it, so if your flying is not all that proficient, think twice about 141.
If you are the kind of person who likes to do a lesson then go fly on your own in order to reinforce the lesson until you are ready to move on, or if you just like to go at your own pace, 61 might be better for you. I did my ppl under part 61 and I felt that my instructor kind of dragged out my training when I felt I was ready. Under part 141, which I trained under for my IR and CPL, my progress was better defined and I liked the strictness of the syllabus.
