Whichever one provides the best service and/or price. Too often I see local vendors playing the "shop local" card and charging far too much. Also, some of these "national" businesses are actually locally owned.

I'm with Michael Setunsky on this one. Local or national, needs to have a local presence and great local reputation for service at reasonable prices.
