I still have my vote for somewhere in Missouri, Kentucky, and Kansas, where it is central and teams from neither coast have an advantage.

It's been over a year since I saw the board at FIRST which has the little pins in it for all the teams but I believe that a large majority of FIRST teams are on the east coast of the US. Hence why most of the considerations for places for nationals were in the east.
I'd also say that Atlanta is a great choice for international teams as the Atlanta airport is one of the major US hub's for international travel. Atlanta also happens to have the busiest airport in the world which should mean it's fairly easy to get a plane flight.
