Take all the courses you can. I sit in on a couple each year & have been seriously considering getting certified as an instructor.
You are sure right that the basic course will have you shooting safely & competently & if your instructor is worth his/her salt you should have a better idea of what type of gun will best suit your needs.

It might seem expensive but if you spend enough time around the range or club to be useful the costs drop dramaticaly.

I get something from every one I sit thru, even if its just a new question a student pops out with. Theres gun specific courses dealing with the different natures of revolvers & autos both single & double action.
Theres defensive handgun courses, tactical courses, you name it.
