While I can't really make any solid recommendations for a "good" all-inclusive CHL class, I can certainly let you know one to avoid at all costs. I renewed back in May at Texas Handgun Academy (Plano Rd just nort of 635), and the instructor was so bad that I sent a complaint to DPS.
Not only was the instructor completely wrong about several things, including MPA and related changes in the last legislative session, he made a comment stating that he had no respect for law enforcement officers and characterized them in rather unflattering terms. The instructor was loud, obnoxious, and consistently referred to handguns as "peestolas." He provided considerable assistance on the written exam to three females in the class seeking renewal, and ignored the fact that a woman shooting in the lane next to me repeatedly shot my target and then flagged the person on the other side of her. We renewal folks also left there considerably early and with less time in than required by DPS. Not that I'm really complaining at all on that one...
The management had no interest in my concern about their instructor, either. I'm no saint and could overlook most of his personality quirks not to my liking, but I left there feeling genuinely sorry for the folks left behind to spend the rest of their afternoon with that asshole. Most importanly, I left there feeling like those people were not going to be prepared for carrying concealed.
Sorry if this sounds like a bitchy rant, but CHL is serious business and must be treated as such if we're to keep it. Ass clowns like this guy have no business ****ing up the deal. I'll happily provide the individual's name in PM, too.
