One route that looks good to me is to get a Private Pilot certificate for fixed wing, then use the Sport Pilot rules to "transition" to a Sport Pilot - Gyro rating. It minimizes the time needed for training in a gyro and gets you flying much easier.
This is exactly the route I went. I'm glad I did for another reason besides money. I've come to find that my training was deeper and wider than when one goes direct to gyro or sport pilot. Now I can rent fixed-wing whenever I want to go any significant distance as well.
