There are lots of factors to consider. Some important ones are what are the best, worst, and average times it will take for the sorting method to complete given a certain amount of elements to sort. Also important is how much memory the algorithm will use, what he distribution of the data it is working on is, and whether you want the algorithm to ensure that if stopped part way though sorting that the data is not in a less sorted state than when it started.
