I think the ideal aeros training aeroplane for the masses rather than for those who are training for competition is either the CAP10, Bulldog, or RV8 (a few in the USA have been converted to full dual control, allowing real instruction to happen), or in a pinch, a T67. The lesser types, such as the Robin 2160 and Cessna Aerobat require too much in the way of developing energy management skills, taking the focus off the aerobatics. At the other end of the spectrum, the Pitts S2 and the Extra 200 are too twitchy(i.e. require lots more finesse when landing) , and would be a challenge to convert or insure a very low time PPL on.
If I were setting up an aeros flight school and had to park outside, then I would probably try to get a Bulldog on a permit with a decent fatigue index reading.
