CK1 - great question. You generally want 2 things from an offshore jurisdiction: favorable tax treatment and sophisticated service providers. In my opinion, the best place to get these together is the Cayman Islands. Another jurisdiction that works is the British Virgin Islands.

Also, there are certain jursidictions that may provide better access to certain investors and/or products. For example, you may want to look into a different jurisdition if you plan on listing your fund on a stock exchange or qualifying as a UCITS. These are specific considerations that you should discuss with counsel.
