Which plane to learn in?

[youngster]

Surely there must be a competency-based regime in place for BFRs! While we all fly different types of aircraft, there are basic skills with which we must all be familiar and competent. If you cannot demonstrate the technique to manage an engine-out approach, engine failure on take-off, steep turns, recovering from stalls, etc, you have no business being in the air. As a student pilot, I would not dream of taking off unless I knew I had the basic skills to deal with any forseeable emergency or situation. Endorsing someone to fly for another two years without possessing all those skills is irresponsible.
