About SOB vs Laid Back CFI's, I had the experience  of  dealing  with  a
very laid back one throughout my Private training, although he was still 
very  serious  about all aspects of the training.  It was really nice to
be able to make a manuver without having the added problem of having  to
deal  with  the  instructors  harrasment as well.  He would emphasize MY
letting HIM know what mistakes I had made.  That  was  very  helpful  in
teaching  me  to  reconize  mistakes and correct for them on my own.  He
never raised his voice ever, and put me though a very  demanding  flight
the  day  before  my private check ride.  In short, strict training laid
back CFI's are not mutually exclusive.
