The FAQ is pretty specific about this:

It's more a matter of capacity. Every type of Relay is useful. But you 
asked for opinions, so here we go. It seems to be the case that the network 
is well equipped with middle Relays at the moment. If your Bridge is 
located in a critical country my preference would be to keep it there as a 
Bridge because access to the network is critical.
