On the ventilation issue, you can use Gamsol odorless mineral spirits (which is a less dangerous and less odorous solvent than most) and put a tabletop fan in a window, facing out. That should take care of most of the ventilation issues.
I was taught to paint using acrylics, and I also used watercolor for a long time, but since I've moved to oils I would never switch back now. I love the rich, lush look that other media just don't have.
