What is more important is whether or not the instructor is interested in teaching you and is enthusiastic about their job. Yes, finding someone who is experienced is great, but that doesn't guarantee they are any good. Talk to your perspective CFI's and if you can go up and do a lesson with them, see if you like their teaching style.
Remember, YOU are the customer here. Many flight schools forget that, but as long as you don't, you'll always get the best quality of instruction that you can find.
