My advice is to read about the different schools of Buddhism and their aims and methods and finally their teachers. You may not have Buddhist Centers of every school near to you so you may choose simply on ease of travelling but I think that would be a mistake.

I agree that ease of travel would be a very bad way to choose a school. Where I used to live, the only close centre to me was Vajrayana. Now where I live, there are Zen Centres, Tibetan and Theravada so that helps. I may actually go and see all of them and find which one is best for me

Thanks again for your great advice.
