Do we want to be on a server with a crap ton of seasoned players, or start somewhere completely away from all that?
I'm pretty sure we want to be on a server that isn't mobbed so that way we won't find ourselves sitting on a server that will wind up getting capped and then everyone else who joins later on has to go to another server. That'd be crap.

I'm not sure all the veterans will end up doing that, though, going to a single server - I think that all the new and oblivious people might go for the first one, though, not understanding the point of the selection. Dunno. I figure most veterans will end up trying to do what I suggested, ensuring they don't get onto a server that will be capped. Nobody wants to be cut out from late arrivals.
