At the risk of starting another heated debate, here is a thread that will show you good, bad and ugly.

The first S Factor studio opened in 2001 in LA. Fawnia started teaching exotic dancers in 1994 (although I have seen this listed as 1996 in some interviews) but I am not sure if she had a studio or if she travelled to clubs. She put out her first video in 1998. My guess would be between these two as to who had the first actual studio.

I believe XPole has a special enforced one that they sell for anything taller than 12 feet.

If you want a time frame when things REALLY changed it was probably the first USPDF competition. Up until this point competitions were held at strip clubs and was more about being sexy with a few skills than it was about aerial arts, In an interview I think Alethea even states that watching Jenyne during that competition totally changed her view as to what pole dance was. Jenyne took first place, Alethea took Miss Sexy and Sarah Cretul took Miss Trickster. This competition totally changed the face of pole forever.

And I hate to say it but appearing on Oprah was the door that opened this workout to the general public, whether or not she was the first to have a school. But S Factor does not promote this as a "sport". It is promoted more as a way for women to get in touch with their feminine side and have fun and get in shape at the same time. It has always been more about letting go than form and perfection.

Sheila does not claim she was the one who took it out of clubs. She realized how great of a workout it was when she was working on The Blue Iguana and thought it would be great to bring this to the masses. She was the first one that I know of in the United States to bring it mainstream as she was on Oprah. BYW, Dancing at the Blue Iguana came out in in 2000 and Sheila publilshed the S Factor book in 2003. I don't know when she opened the first S Factor studio.
Prior to this I do not believe there was anyone who had really taken this out of the clubs. KT Coates I don't think started training others until after 2005-2007 ish (ME, correct me if I am wrong), and Pantera did not release her Pole Tricks 101 until 2007. If anyone Fawnia Dietrich could be classified as the very first Pole Dance Instructor as she opened her school around 1994 but I think it still was strictly for exotic dancers. I am not sure when her first video came out.

Call XPole

Just a correction: Lil Mynx you DO have to drill a hole for the top piece. PS is also a tension mounted pole.

I hate unexpected expenses.

I am going to speak up before others here do….yoga really should not and cannot be learned properly from a video. This is one of those things that you really need a yogi looking at your form to get the full benefit from it. I think Aerial Amy had a blog regarding yoga (or maybe she posted something somewhere about it). I also have a friend who is extremely vocal about things of this matter.
I know that Dara Torres dvd is highly recommended and there is another one that I cannot think of the name of right off the top of my head. (I will post later)

Do you actually take the pole places? If not then I would not be so concerned about the case. I also believe that people have purchased ski cases to carry their poles which work out a little better than even the ones supplied.
It was my understanding that you could still make the PS pole a top loading if you so chose to. I want to say that a few have done that but I may be remembering incorrectly. I think they may even have that as an option when you purchase the pole.
I think it is good to have poles from each company and different finishes so that you can see the difference. I am not a spinny person but pulling the pin is probably the one big plus that PS has.
I do know that PS is still having issues with the machining of the multi piece poles (at least they were about 6 months ago, maybe not now). The breaking issue was fixed by them making the threads longer than they used to be. My friend had pieces that were not threaded properly so they did not fit together. It took I want to say 2-3 weeks to fix that problem.
As for the sticking, purchase anti-seize spray before putting it together the first time and you should be fine.
