Mouthblown versus bellows blown
Please read the discussion below to consider the differences between the two styles.
 In general bellows take awhile to get the feel of.  Small pipes have a tradition of being bellows blown, as well as Border Pipes, Northumbrian Pipes, Pastoral Pipes and Uilleann Pipes.  So the tradition is the use of the bellows.  About 15 years ago folks started making mouth blown small pipes, it is just a lot easier if you play Highland Pipe, to get the hang of it.  You have a lifelong experience of talking, singing, whistling, etc. When you switch to a bellows pipe, it requires you to teach both your right and left elbows how to emote.  Remember that small pipes, are affected by air pressure, "shiftable", so being "on your air", like almost all wind instruments is very important.  Highland pipes should be able to be played at the same pressure all through the scale, unless you are running on pretty hard reeds.
 So unless for tradition's sake or the ability to sing along with your pipes, mouthblown is much more easy to control, but will be "shiftable" like other wind instruments.
 I also play Uilleann Pipes, so I know the joy of getting up to 7 reeds running at the same time while the  chanter plays through 2 octaves. 
 Hope this helps.
