Default So many decisions!!

Okay everyone, I'm almost at my wits end trying to decide on a flippin school to go to. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a school in Phoenix, VA approved is a MUST, and I need a flexible program so I can also work part time for a job / finish my college degree....any thoughts?
I got interested by ATP, but found that they aren't VA approved (is that even correct?), then looked at Ari Ben, but the whole not in Phoenix factor kicks in...screw Florida man. The only other school I can think of is Pan Am, but even with my VA benefits and $50K MGIB, it's still pricey. I'm thinking RAA is where I might end up, but all I've seen on the boards is nothing but negativity about RAA. I'm not sure if it's just a money issue, because the GI Bill and VA reimbursements would definitly help that out a whole lot. If that's the only reason, I guess I shouldn't be too concerned, I'm just afraid of commiting to a school, moving to Phoenix with a new wife ( her prospective job is in Phoenix), then getting screwed.

Thoughts???

Thanks for all your thoughts.

I can only speak from my experience, but Westwind across the street from Pan Am has a pretty good 141 program, might want to take a look at it.
