Yes, AF-S is a known quantity but... Thom Hogan says the AF-P is an excellent lens and recommends it over the AF-S for a DX kit. In addition, the AF-S lens negates one of the primary (for me) reasons to own a DX camera - light and compact. Plus, you can routinely get the AF-P under $200. Two things I would check
a) does it have a plastic barrel - if yes then consider how actively you will be using it
b) does it have that annoying button on the barrel. When I bought a D5300 I bought the 18-55 AF-P, and while it is a very nice lens having to press that button and rotate the barrel every time you remove the lens cap is annoying as hell.
