The CFIs I've run across at FBOs were depressed / poorly paid / and so use to being abused it made me feel guilty as a consumer...I was glad to be done with my PPL and out of that place...

Not all FBO's are that shi!tty. I say go to an FBO you can get your ratings fast and somewhat cheaper. BTW as far as crappy CFI pay, i talked to a CFI at allatps who told me they make a set salary of 1 thousand a month. The salary thing can be good but I knew an instructor at an FBO pulling in 20k a year.
