Watercooled is good for people that have been riding cags for some time (think of it as an upgrade), the watercooled bikes go like a bat of out hell (after taking crash's banshee out for a ride), aircooled pb's would be better for someone learning or just starting out ... i would'nt put a beginner right onto a watercooled .
