Hello again. I met with my flight instructor today just to get some
information.
The reason for the choice here is the famous high vs. low wing debate.
Also, the diamond tops out 10 knots faster. Any suggestions or opinions
as to which I should go with? Again, I will be flying both to decide
eventually. Is glass going to be more prevalent down the road and more
expensive to transition then, rather than start with it now?

Since you haven't told us anything about yourself, and especially what type of
flying you plan to do in the future, how can we possibly give you a meaningful
answer?

If you think you may want to own an airplane but have a limited budget, then the
plane you buy will be unlikely to have a glass panel. Therefore, you may want
to train with "steam gauge" instruments..

If you are seeking the "fast track" to the front seat of an airliner, perhaps
you want to start with glass; but perhaps not, because you may find yourself
instructing in simple aircraft along the way.

There really is no 100% right answer. I see a day when pilots who have never
flown a "steam gauge" panel will be seen in the same light as those who have
never flown a tailwheel.
