Delta Connection Academy : M-1 or F-1 ??

Hello everybody!
I'm planning on starting my training at DCA and I'm an international student.
I was therefore wondering : should I apply for the M-1 program or the F-1 program?? For those who don't know the difference, the M-1 program lasts a year and you get the private, instrument and commercial linceses and 2-300 hours( you'll then be able to go back to Europe and convert your licenses) ; the F-1 program lasts 2 years and you'll get the instructor licenses as well, with a brief period as an instructor at the school till the completion of the 2 years and about 1000 hours.
what do you say???

F1 will be better as that will give you chance to work as instructor and build hours

I believe the F-1 at DCA is a result of them previously having the J-1. The M-1 also allows one to apply for OPT.
