I have a friend who taught his oldest to fly in his PA12 and is teaching his youngest in his recently restored 170, but that is what he OWNS. If he was paying for rental, he would no doubt select the cheapest tricycle gear to start lessons in. If the end goal is to obtain your pilot license in the quickest/least expensive way then go with the cheapest, simplest airplane you can find. Learning to fly a tail dragger/twin/high performance/floatplane etc can be done at any time later.
I had about 200 hrs in C150, C172 and a Grumman Yankee when I bought my Piper Pacer (taildragger) and the insurance company made me get 5 hrs in the plane with an instructor. My logbook showed the five hours, but I was "reasonably" comfortable after about 2 hours of takeoffs/landings.
