How do I choose an accordion?

I’m about to start accordion lessons and I need to pick one to rent from my teacher. I’m wanting to play folk metal mainly so should I go for a button accordion or a piano accordion? Which is more fitting?

If I were starting over, I would pick the Continental Button Accordion, sometimes called a chromatic button accordion. Second choice would be a piano accordion. Don’t go with the diatonic button box.

    Folk metal on an accordion. Humm.. that’s a new one for me. I guess it wouldn’t really matter. Or does it? Humm.. OK I give up.
