If I were a private company going public what are the advantages to listing on a particular exchange? How would I determine which is best for my company?

Listing on the NYSE (Big Board) is the most desired listing in the world. Few companies can meet the standards (see NYSE lising standards in Sources below) Listing on the Big Board means the company has been in business for a number of years and is established. The business has minimum earnings of $10 million over the last three years, a minimum market value of $100 million, and revenues of $75 million for the current year.
The advantage is by meeting the stringent standards of the NYSE, the listed company gets greater exposure, and investors feel safer knowing the high standard of their investment.
NASDAQ has the lowest standards, and the AMEX is somewhere in between. NASDAQ companies come and go, while the NYSE companies have proven they are here to stay.

NYSE is between the places the position securities are traded and there are different Exchanges, sure a company ought to correctly be on more suitable than one. The Dow Jones business common, the NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 are communities of stocks that are used to judge the final wellness of the inventory marketplace. they're only distinct communities of stocks that are getting used.

NYSE is for larger and more reputable companies. There's more prestige for the NYSE. NASDAQ is for smaller, riskier tech companies. That's changed to some extent, because some of the "small" tech companies have become huge, like Cisco and Intel, and very stable.
But the capitalization etc. requirements and fees for listing on the NYSE are still much stricter than NASDAQ, so NASDAQ remains more attractive for smaller companies.

As far as I've seen, the only major difference would be how many letters are used in the stock symbol. The NYSE uses up to 3 letters, and the NASDAQ uses 4. For better advice, I suggest contacting these exchanges with your question.
