Question Flight Schools in South Florida Area

I got my PPL Feb 2013 and am trying to find a small flight school/FBO that offers part 61 training for Instrument and Single Engine Commercial. I've been advised to avoid larger academy type schools because they tend to be overpriced, over enrolled, and do not offer part 61. I intend to pursue my instructor ratings as well, but am hoping to enroll in Flight Safety's CFI Program when the time comes. I'm based in KVRB on the east coast of Florida and went to one of the FBO's on the field. I completed my training in 4 months while balancing college and work, and was able to fly as often as I wanted so long as I had money in my account. The planes and facilities were great. They offer both 61 and 141, but the owner does shady business and mistreats the instructors. I don't want anything to do with that. I've been pumping jet fuel 40-50 hours every week to save enough money for training. I'm trying to do my best not to waste my hard earned cash. I've done some research online, but I know sometimes websites are out of date or misleading. If anyone has some input or advice I would GREATLY appreciate it!

I highly recommend NS aviation at KHWO. Great place, owner is fair and disciplined, gives the instructors a good plan to follow. If you need more info or want to go the independent CFI route, send me a PM
