The instrument rating, out of all of them is most likely to kill you without enough time in the plane with an experienced instructor.

Excellent points! I thought about doing the IFR stuff in a 10 day course. But I didn't and I'm glad! These quick IFR courses will get you ready for the checkride but not the
reality of IMC flight BY YOURSELF! The IFR is definitely worth taking at least a month to do so you can absorb the tons of information you will be facing. The commercial is a different story but definitely take your time with your IFR rating.
