If I may explain someting about the two aircraft in question cessna vs piper. If I were to start flignt training I would use the Cessna as it makes you land it (learing to fly better). The Piper on the other hand gets some of its lift from the fuselage due to the low wing and will float on landing making them seem simple.

Pilots who go from Piper training to Cessna's will have several very hard landing as they will be expecting the aircraft to float on landing, but it won't. Other than that both are great training aircraft.
