It's by far easier to first think about what you actually want to accomplish on the business side (where to invest - geographically as well as in which market, in which structure, equity or debt etc.) before thinking about the legalese. Legal structures serve business purposes, not the other way round, so do make up your mind in the right order.

In general, you would be wise to choose a legal entity from an established jurisdiction with well-known case law and statues. No use in using a LLC from Turkmenistan just to save a few bucks when you can become personally liable due to some obscure Turkmenistan law for the delivery of 100 goats to their president.

Choose your jurisdiction wisely. The specific legal entity can always be modified to fit your purposes and your personal tax planning.
