The biggest thing is that you're going to need help on the application at some point. If you know you can hire remote, then you have more options. If you likely can only hire locally, then choose a stack that won't alarm local, good candidates. In my area, for example, Python nearly does not exist. Ruby,.NET, and PHP have the overwhelming majority. I can find .NET and PHP programmers tomorrow, but locally I can't find any Julia or Clojure devs. In general static typing helps me on bigger projects with team members be responsible, but slows me down on weekend projects for funzies. I'd go with static if I were you.
