in low wing.

You'll probably have to learn to fly behind conventional as well as
glass instrumentation, start with the less costly. The money ($35 an
hour?) you'll save before you move to glass will be more than the cost
of learning glass later when you move on to your instrument rating.
Keep things simple during primary training.
