So, I'll run this by my CFI-G and some more of my club mates.



Here is where I am now:

Discus 2b

ASW-27

Forget asking your CFIG unless they have time in the ships you mentioned. I would second everything BB said. I fly at a 5000MSL Gliderport with density altitudes around 9K in the summer so TO and Landing speed is scary in a non flapped ship. Further, most pilots end up with a flapped ship anyways so just start with one.
