Don't everyone faint at once, but - I agree with Glenn. Go with the best instructor possible, even if you are a rank beginner.
Basically, the only way you "waste" anything with a good teacher is if you don't practice. Then you waste his time and your money. Most of us can use the bucks - but we'd ALL rather have students who'll use up every bit of training and knowledge we can give.
A good versatile teacher is a good investment. While there are many "right" ways to play, a good teacher won't limit you, and will take a little time to explore the alternatives and find what works best for you and your tastes. You'll learn it right the first time, rather than learning compromised techniques that you'll need to correct later.
