Post Hindsight; which US flight school would you have chosen

Hindsight is always 20/20. Would another flight school have better prepared you for a career in aviation. Which school would this be (United States)?

Thanks everyone.

If you're talking right from the start, then I was perfectly happy with the people I did my PPL with.

If you're talking CPL, ignore me because I haven't been there yet!

I would avoid the fist school I attended (not hard - gone bust) and stick with the second school, which so - far have delivered me my PPL, IR, Multi and I hope, Comm in Feb next year.

I did some time at OFT - Good but not great/smashing/super - more the a/c (PA28) than the school. However I hear from both this website and more importantly personal contacts that NAPLES is the place to go. If I was to do it (FLORIDA HR BUILD etc.) again I would go there! null
