I was recently faced with a somewhat similar situation on which teacher to choose. I could go with an affordable and local woodwind generalist (double reed primary) verses a much longer drive for a clarinet specialist. I decided the drive and expense weren't worth it for my own above average but non-prodigy 12 year old. However, I did know both that this teacher has great raport with students and a high success rate at All-State auditions. Like others have said, student-teacher relationship and progress are what matter.

As you child becomes more advanced (or older) the needs may change though. I personally had a bad experience with a piano teacher that was great with elementary aged beginners to intermediates, but not so great with teens or more advanced students. For example she never progressed me out of the method books and onto actual repertoire.
