I'd opt for the place closest to home. There is no "best" but there might be teachers who's work you like. The main thing is keeping with the course either way - so being close to home is less of a pain and less stressful.

Yes, and I'd think it also depends on what exactly you want to learn. People often seem to think that if you follow a certain education that it makes you a great musician. I don't think it works like that at all. It's not like studying law or economics. Guthrie is mostly self-taught, to give an example.

The internet also offers a great deal of education for free.
