It might be a good idea to try several sites to find a structure you feel comfortable playing with. Some sites have 10 handed tables and some 9 handed. The amount of starting chips varies a lot too. The sites with little starting chips are often focused on faster tournaments and the ones with much starting chips take more time. Major online poker rooms have the biggest tournament player volume, so if there are 500+ entrants at tournaments and you prefer a starting field consisting of 100-200 players a smaller site can be the better choice.
What also is worth thinking of is the level of competition. The sites with the toughest competition like Pokerstars.com can be a good practice site while a site with many new or weak players is better for making money. There are great differences between sites promotional programs. Many sites host major free-rolls and special bonus satellites for loyal customers so there's plenty of free cash out there.
