Just to add to what the others have said - you can't go wrong with a Cessna. If you're on the smaller side I'd say a 152. A 172 if you need a little more room. They will practically fly themselves. As far as design features, the common designs haven't changed in decades because they work and are well proven.
And as Seahawk states, judgment is critical but is something that can't be taught. In the beginning you just have to soak up what your instructors and the more experienced pilots impart to you until you gain your own time and experience. Much of it, though, is plain 'ole common sense.
When I used to instruct (foreign students) I was fascinated by how they would learn everything by rote but when it came time to make a decision in the pilot's seat they were a little lost. You wouldn't usually see that with the domestic (US) students which I gather must boil down to cultural differences.
