Best airplanes to build time in
After flight training I am thinking about buying an aircraft to build time while I also instruct.
I am looking for something comfortable that I can also take on trips and air conditioning while keeping cost per hour down. Open to either single engine or multi engine. Will most likely be splitting ownership with 1 or 2 others.
Just wanted to hear people's opinions and why.

[air conditioning] and [keeping cost per hour down] are the null set.
Their Venn Diagrams simply do not intersect. At all.
Multi engine is nearly as bad. And buying an aircraft - especially a multi engine aircraft - with one or two close friends is an excellent way to lose one or two close friends.
Just saying...

air conditioning is a bear to maintain and is heavy. A multi is very expensive to maintain as well. I guess it depends how deep your pockets are and what type of time you need.
Anything more than a 70's era fixed gear single gets more expensive exponentially.
Oh and insurance; compare a multi to a fixed gear single, the difference is amazing.

If you want to build hours, buy a good pen. If you want to build experience, get a job.
Air conditioning? Really?

I guess it depends on the balance in your checking account....
