Diving instructors?
Working "hard," or the perception of working hard, doesn't really mean anything. Sweating, vomiting, and breathing hard could be a good workout or a tropical disease kicking in.-Dan John

PADI = Put Another Dollar In
If you want cheap, then any PADI instructor will do
If you want to do it right, then contact

Gideon Leuw is the instructor
He teaches the GUE course, and they hold all the records worth holding in diving for safety, depth and duration.
This is how I dive and its the best way.

As with any certification it's not actually the certificate (PADI/NAUI/GUE/SSI/I forget what the british version is now, BSAC?/etc) but the instructor(s). I'd say speak to people with a lot of experience and ask who they'd get to teach their kids to dive safe.
Jerry's obviously made his recommendation already, if the price differential is not too big, that's probably a good choice.

But the foundational concepts that GUE is built on are very different from PADI etc.
PADI is actually a marketing organization, they state their objectives are the same as GUE etc, but the implementation is fundamentally different.
PADI creates a plethora of courses designed to make you keep coming back, paying more money and buying more equipment. Hence the vast range of 'specialist' courses. GUE does one foundational course and its the basis for all future training.
The price differential for GUE and PADI will be a big one
