I've taught the second edition several times and found that the impedance matching between the content and previous student knowledge allows clear signal transmission. I would argue that if you want to teach a waves-first course, there is no better starting place than the first two chapters of the book, lightly revised and improved from the previous edition.
The Griffiths and Schroeter (G&S) text falls squarely in the waves-first camp. Roughly speaking, there are two main approaches to teaching undergraduate quantum mechanics: waves-first or spins-first (other approaches include historical (an especially good fit for sophomore-level modern physics classes) and formalism-first (perhaps better for graduate quantum courses)).
