From what i gather you intend to do a strategy game. My 2 cents are as follows :

- go for they type of map that suits the player best, not the one that has the better graphics or is easier to make.

- chose the type of map in tandem with future concepts. E.G if you want battles to be viewed as an animation, the isometric gives a much better imersion than a top down perspective.

- research existing games on the market (diplomacy, civilization, etc).

Best of luck on this project.
