As someone getting close to the end of PPL training, here is what I think:
> What can I do to get a head start on my aviation training?
Absolutely read the FAA Handbook. I would go ahead and get a PPL Student training manual and read that. this is the one that I use.
>Are [online ground schools] worth the investment?
Absolutely. I am getting close to taking my knowledge test and I am learning so much from it. It also offers you a different perspective of learning the same material your CFI will teach you. They will help fill in gaps that the other may have left.
> Is there a preferred online ground school?
I ended up buying Gleim's online ground school based on a search of posts in /r/flying on the subject. However, all of the posts had numerous suggestions as I am sure this one will.
I would focus on reading the FAA handbook first. It gives you a good basis on most things. Then, if you are a working person, I may even think about taking the knowledge test before you start training. I work 50+ hours a week and giving it the amount of time I Want to give it, and working, and keeping my gf from breaking up with me is a hell of a juggle. But I did not take the test first so I am just saying that if I did it again I would probably do it though as I sit here today I don't know what the consequences of that choice are, if any.
Furthermore, I like to give myself low-cost hurdles before making a high-cost decision. If you say to yourself "I won't train until I finish reading the FAA handbook", and you don't read it, you will save yourself the money you may have wasted on half ass training for your PPL. If you do it, you will start training with a damn good base of knowledge and know that you really will follow through.
Finally, make sure you train when you have enough time and money to train at least 1-2x a week. You and your instructor will take it all more seriously. (Not that your instructor won't take training seriously, but he may take you more seriously.)
Just my .02 sitting here with 30 hours. Others are far more knowledgeable than me.

Awesome! I'll probably get those to suppliment. Just to confirm, you're referring to these, right?
