To clarify, I would not necessarily pick the CFI, or just the CFI. I only mentioned that as an example. In fact I had my A&P prior to my CFI. I would very strongly recommend an A&P as well for many reasons. Having an A&P is very valuable, especially in the corporate arena. Many newcomers don't consider this and instead have fixated only on things they deem directly related to actual flying of the aircraft, to their detriment... Additionally, it goes against much human nature to start at the bottom and why build a solid foundation when someone will let you enter at other floors on the elevator? Because there is a reason for it!
