I think you should consult with the people in your area and see which madhab is most dominant; easily accessible; and that has a lot of scholars. Generally speaking, the Hanafi madhab is a good option because of the innumerable works and texts based on it. It is also the most popular madhab in this moment in time and questions are generally easily answerable whereas the Hanbali madhab for example is at the opposite end of the spectrum; not too many works and not as popular etc. (by popular, how easy it is to get answers for...)
