time to choose

I have decided to do an ironman, but I need to choose where I'll do my ironman debut.
There are a lot of variables to take into account that will make me choose for one or another.
For example: my budget, my free time to train, the characteristics of the course and so on.
And even though I'm working out quite a lot, I can't start training specifically for such a race. My real plan will start 30weeks prior to the event.
Here are some ironman cities, although it doesn't mean I'll choose one of them for my debut:
-Lake Placid, New York
-Bolton, UK
-Pentiction, B.C.Canada
-Louisville, Kentucky
-Madison, Wisconsin
-Kona, Hawaii (World Championship, you can only race here by invitation or through lotto)
-Panama City Beach, Florida
-Tempe, Arizona
-Frankfurt, Germany
-Taupo, New Zealand
-Langkawi, Malaysia
-Port Mcquire, Australia
-Port Elisabeth, South Africa
-Lanzarote, Spain
-and so on

I think I know where my debut will be but I'll give myself a week to decide it. Can you help me out telling me what city you think it would be a good city for my debut?
Would you come to see me if i were racing there?
