First of all, make sure they are established enough and keep good books, you don't want your stock holdings to get jumbled up in a poorly managed firm... also check their commisions and execution times, and see how hard they try to get you a low price on market orders... if everything checks out, I say go with the local guys, keeping cash in your isolated economy is good on a small scale

If the local guys don't work out, do you know of any larger online brokerages that don't require more than $1000 to start?
